Keychain password windows close immediately

My keychain password windows don't stay open long enough for me to show my password. I have no clue what is going on. Any suggestions appreciated!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13), mid 2014 retina 2.2 Ghz i7

No need to uninstall malware bytes , right now its not striking 😢 why the keychain access window quits after a while , and with what method safari passwords were restored , in safari preferences > autofill all boxes are checked .

Please take opinion with apple support senior advisors they can only guide you , reinstalling the OS you are avoiding 😢 .

Take opinions from apple support senior advisors , a step is there is enter into user library macOS Sierra: Library folder

Find a folder preferences > drag and drop com.apple.keychainaccess.plist to the desktop restart the machine open keychain access via spotlight see if it sticks .


But this is only a suggestion don't do it take suggestions from apple support some more complications can be created .

Did you tried to create a new user account How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support just observe the results in it and dont delete the old user account .

And try to reply what are the results .
