I do not see this preference option under macOS High Sierra. Anyone else experiencing the same?
If you access your keychain frequently, you can add the keychain status icon to the menu bar. This lets you quickly open Keychain Access and manage your keychains.
macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
Keychain access is a sensitive and keeping it in the top menu bar or the dock can create issues , if you by mistake delete any items or click on login ( shown in the screen shot ) the pop ups will start appearing .
And for routine computing it is not opened permanently and kept on the dock , thats the reason it is kept in utilities folder . And in Mac OS High Sierra you can not add it to the top menu bar .
Thank you, as_909, Kappy and tygb for your responses, much appreciated. In Sierra, I was using the "Lock Screen" command under the keychain status menu; however, in High Sierra, this stopped working. Searching on the Internet, I found out that the "Lock Screen" command now resides under the Apple menu.
Thanks again everyone, and I think Apple should remove/revise the aforementioned support article.

No, they do not read the forums nor participate in them. They only moderate them for adherence to the Apple Support Communities - Terms of Use.
You can no longer do this in High Sierra. Which is unfortunate. I now keep the 'Keychain Access' application in the Dock for quick access.
Why not put the Keychain Access icon in the Finder's toolbar or the Dock?
Thanks tygb, will do. Does Apple ever read these threads? Thanks again.
Kappy has answered for you .
Thanks very much guys!
