As I was downloading Opera browser for Mac, my Keychain Access popped up. I never use my Keychain for anything, but somehow Opera was able to get to Keychain without asking permission first. And somehow an entry was created for it:
Attributes
Name: Opera Safe Storage
Kind: application password
Account: Opera
Where: Opera Safe Storage
Access Control:
Confirm before allowing access
Keychain Access had not asked me to enter a password. Nor did Opera ask me any permissions to use the Keychain. All this was done without any warnings or notifications to me until after the fact.
1) First of all, how did this happen?
2) How do I prevent anything else from accessing my Keychain without permission?
Opera was not the only one, this is just the first time I noticed. I saw there had been entries made for Safari and others that had all accessed the Keychain in the past without asking me first.
