[QUOTE="paieye, post: 1750735, member: 266828"] Every single week, I use unsecured networks. A couple of months ago, I decided that I needed a virtual private network, and installed Private Internet Access. Until recently, it seemed most satisfactory -- inexpensive, unobtrusive, and apparently effective. However, in the last 10 days or so, whenever I have launched Chrome, I have received the message in the subject-line above. It offers me a choice of entering a password and continuing, or cancelling. However, it recognises no password that I have entered, and ignores the "Cancel"-button. PIA's energetic help-desk has guided me through the steps that one needs to take to prevent this from happening, and I have successfully carried out those steps. Those steps were in essence (1) trash PIA and empty Trash; (2) Launch Terminal, and enter the command rm -rf /.pia_manager/; (3) Launch Disk Utility, and Repair Permissions; (4) Reboot. What is alarming me, though, is that, after a week or so of being able to launch Chrome without this happening, it has started happening again. What does this mean ? Does it imply that there is some incompatibility between PIA and OSX ? [/QUOTE]
