Hello team,

After migrating from El Capitan to Mac OS High Sierra I noticed very annoying change in Messages app behavior. Actually, I do have two Jabber accounts running on Google. Every time I logon or Macbook Pro wakeup from sleep, I got prompted to enter a password for each my Jabber account. Sometime I do need to enter passwords for each account once, sometimes 3 times for each of them. Finally accounts become online, but after another logon or wakeup from sleep I do need to repeat password enter. 2 weeks since upgrade...

Please help me to make my life happier.

Why won't High Sierra save Jabber account passwords to keychain?
