Now, it's entirely possible that this was brought up in the development/testing pipeline, and the way it currently operates is by design, and the decision was made not to change it, if it got brought up in testing. I don't want my software to get out of the shop if the way it works it isn't intuitive. So issues like these can be addressed before it hits the street. The best testers I ever knew have always found every way they could figure out to break your software. It's likely that many users did not have the issue, since millions of people use TT.Īs a thirty-five year professional software developer, it occurs to me that there may be a hitch in the testing giddy-up. Then the password prompt dialog box pops back up, it is not intuitive what has gone wrong. So, if you operate the computer like I do, that is: There is an option 'Always Allow' that is not the default, and perhaps it should be.

The dialog box comes up to enter your password.

Everything is listed in All Items, but only password logins are viewable under Passwords.My previous post outlines the problem I had here it is, in better detail:ġ.

They are categories that let you better sort and sift through the information in Keychain Access.

All Items, Passwords, etc - The tabs at the top of the screen are All Items, Passwords, Secure Notes, My Certificates, Keys, and Certificates.

You shouldn’t ever need to mess around in there unless something went seriously wrong.

System Roots (left margin) - This is where system certificates are stored.

Basically, this is where system passwords are stored.

System (left margin) - System shows you every time your computer connected to something, be it a Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth device, or FTP server.

iCloud (left margin) - This shows you every instance of logging into something backed up on iCloud so it can sync across your devices.

We’ll go through it and tell you what each section does. However, one great reason to look through this stuff is to find the password for a website you recently logged into where you can’t remember what password you used to do it.

The majority of the information here is primarily helpful for viewing.
