Automatically Lock the Login Keychain #3

Closed randyqx closed 8 years ago

randyqx commented 8 years ago

I did the Automatically Lock the Login Keychain thing. It makes me crazy, asking for my loooong passphrases way too frequently. I went to Keychain Access selected the login Keychain, and turned it off. I still get prompted for ssh passphrases, ScanSnap, blah blah blah. How do I really stop this?

Hello randyqx,

to completely disable the popups you have to Export the Keychain to a file. Delete everything. Create a new keychain (With disabled Settings) and import it again -> Import/Export Keychain.

you can also minimize the Popups to only appear after a reboot or hibernate by changing the settings of the "Change Settings for Keychain 'Login' " to only enable "Lock when sleeping" and uncheck "Set Lock after [...] minutes of inactivity to 10".

Cheers,

Traxes

this got me in the right neighborhood. i could not actually export (greyed out), but i could copy the file out. i had to bludgeon it a bit, but it finally succumbed. thanks.
