Keychain access when trying to install quicken for mac 2016 password#
Per online instructions I changed my password and this did not correct the problem. I just tried to get into your Monday evening townhall for help and was unsuccessful.Īt any rate, I am now unable to use my computer as I continually get keychain password requests. You helped me install an updated OS on my Mac Book last week. I still want to have a spreadsheet with all data. In any case, I don't rely on Chrome or keychain to be the only place where my passwords are stored. It's a little oldschool but I've gone through too many situations where clients used password managers and things went south. Instead, I prefer having a 5 column spreadsheet that can be password protected.Īccount, user, password, additional info like account number, last time verified.

I don't like paying for yet another subscription to something.ĭ: You have to assume the software developer will continue to stay in business. Days of rebuilding your database.Ĭ: they usually involve subscriptions. In terms of password management, that's a pretty big discussion but the short version is: I don't personally like password managers due toĪ: it's too tempting to allow that program to generate its' own very complicated passwords then you have to 100% rely on that program.ī: if you forget your master password, it's over. It does has a secure notes feature but I don't use it at all. It's more of a front end to what happens behind the scenes with your passwords. You are correct, Keychain is not user friendly and to be honest I don't think Apple intended for it to be something people would use often. Chrome does not talk to Apple's Keychain program. In this instance, looks like you're using Chrome, therefore any saved passwords are stored in Google Chrome and thus potentially synced with other Chrome browsers on your account via Google's cloud. How do we properly add to and access our passwords, OR, is there an easier, and just as secure password management app that will work well across all devices? When I access on my iPad or iPhone, under settings, passwords & Accounts, I don’t see the info that I have entered, but often old user names and passwords on only a few accounts. Keychain is not a user friendly application and I find that I cannot figure out what my passwords are (I know that I have to enter a password to access the password), so I have been creating secure notes for each user name and password. When this window shows up does your user name and password get saved to your Keychain or to a Google Chrome keychain? The little key in the bar seems to add to Google chrome.
