[QUOTE="MacShane, post: 1076228, member: 159792"] Yes. That is exactly why. You'll either need to revert back to the old password (which it's looking for) or set up a new keychain for the account. An easy explanation for Keychain is, that it's a password management tool. It saves you the headache of having to remember all the PWs you set up for accounts both online and off. You don't have to remember the passwords because keychain does it (and keeps a list) for you. If you choose the "auto-fill" option for Safari, you'll (almost) never have to remember a password for any account again. There are a number of places online that explain the Keychain more in-depth.
