For some unknown reason, my saved passwords disappeared. Fortunately I have them written down but now I am unable to save them even though I tick 'remember me'. I no longer get a 'Do you want to save your password' popup although I sometimes get one saying 'Do you want to update your password'. Even if I click 'Yes' to that, nothing happens. I tried changing a couple of passwords put still could not get them to save.
I went into my keychain but could not get any item to show the password - it just said ' item restricted' to everything.
My keychain was not locked but I don't remember the password as I seldom go in to it and appear not to have kept a note of it.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me sort this out.
I have a MacBook Air just a year old and have had no problem before this.

What browser? Things like that are helpful, not all browsers use keychain.
Do yourself a favor and use a password manager like 1Password or Lastpass.
They work better than using the browser manager and can be reset and shared between computers.
