I am sick and freaking tired of this computer not remembering my passwords. I want to delete every single one and start from scratch.
What is best way to do this w/o screwing the computer up.
Thank you
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 32GB
Read this article for information : macOS Sierra: Manage passwords using keychains
I would recommend that have conversation with apple support and take opinions from them , sometimes system keychain is corrupted , they have their techniques to solve the issues .
If you are using Mac OSX EL - Capitan , open safari and its preferences select Autofill and check the box of autofill whenever you login the passwords will be saved in the keychain .
And what's the reason you want to delete the keychain an explanation is needed , do you see any pop - ups on the screen prompting to enter password and that keychain pop - up never goes away or what ?
And please don't delete the keychain folder from user library into the trash , restart and empty the trash .
By deleting it you will notice , in the preferences folder of user library all plist will be mismanaged ( will not be an alphabetical order ) .
Hi, needed to revisit this issue. The problem is i am still having password issues. Keychain is not remembering passwords, neither is Safari and i constantly have to go look them up and enter and i am tired of it.
Also, none of the websites are being saved to Keychain, i have to go manually add them, what would be causing that?
What do you or anyone else suggest?
You can safely delete the Keychains folder in your home directory...
eg. /Users/yourusername/Library/Keychains
This folder can be deleted as it will be recreated upon login.
Erase All Keychain Passwords
