I have tried multiple accounts on multiple High Sierra machines and the password will not save. Every time you re-launch the app you are prompted to enter it. I assume this is a bug, but can't find anywhere, where it is re
Messenges-OTHER, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), Messenges Bug
SOLUTION
After running a comparison with a working version (on Sierra 10.12.6) it looks like the solution (at least for me) is to change the Where value that gets generated on sign in from what gets populated when adding an account in High Sierra com.apple.account.jabber.password to Jabber
In order to make this change follow these steps:
After making this change the first launch of messages asked me to allow permission to access keychain. After doing so any subsequent open of messages works as expected.
I hope this helps.
Adium is another superfluous entity! We talk about problem with jabber client in messages.app, not about another jabber clients.
Thank You.
we are using corporate ejabberd and not have problems with messages.app on os x sierra (
why reply to this thread Maximus? We're trying to get apple to fix a bug. Do you not have anything better to do?
better to do i think - wait for apple answer ;( high sierra 10.3.2 update not fixed this problem ;(
Moving reply to original question (sorry)
Thank You! It's works.
No problem, glad it helped.
Thanks for posting. You can also search for "jabber" and it comes up.
This did not work for me. Is there a safe way to clear all keychains and start fresh?
I did that and it created a second jabber keychain. It's still asking me for a password every time.
Actually, just got it to work. I switched "jabber" to "Jabber" after walking through the steps.
Thank you for your help here!
Awesome, it appears to have worked. Thank you
Unfortunately it worked for a little now back to asking for a sign multiple times again. Any other recommendations?
Apple support, please fix this bug.
That was the issue for me too. In order to fix annoying password prompt, I changed the Where to Jabber, changed lowercase "j" to uppercase "J" in Name and deleted @talk.com at the end of Account
For whatever reason I did not have "com.apple.account.jabber.password" in my keychain, so I just added it manually. Now it works.
Why won't High Sierra save Jabber account passwords to keychain?
