I am using a new iMac OSX machine. I loved keychain. It would come up in Safari all the time. Now it no longer comes up. Perhaps I did something wrong. I found Keychain in my utilities folder and tried to press Set Default Keychain. It asked me or my password. I put it in than it said something about getting a new something or other, I really can't remember. How can I make keychain work like it should. Thanks

Were you using the Keychain to do "Autofill"? If so, make sure in Safari Preferences, under the "Autofill" tab that you have the selection boxes checked.

If chscag's solution doesn't work (or it's already checked), take a look at this.

Thanks. But this puts on the autofill for Safari. It does not bring up the keychain command which I liked.

OK, now you have me a bit confused here. What were you using the Keychain for in Safari? In other words, why was the Keychain command coming up?

Yes, the keychain was coming up. I must have clicked something because it does not come up anymore. I tried to set the default but it asked me for a new password...yadayadayada... all confused. ;P

What chscag was getting at is please provide a example as to when the KeyChain pops up.
