Mac OS X 10.4 Help
Changing your keychain password
You can change the password for your keychain at any time. However, if you want your default keychain to be unlocked automatically when you log in, make sure your keychain password is the same as your Mac OS X login password.
If your Mac OS X login password is not the same as your default keychain password, you'll be asked for the password whenever an application needs access to your keychain and your keychain is locked.
- Open Keychain Access located in Applications/Utilities, and select the keychain in the Keychains list (click Show Keychains if the list is not open).
- Choose Edit > "Change Password for Keychain 'login'." (The name of the keychain in the menu matches the name of the selected keychain. If you selected the keychain that unlocks when you log in, the name you see is "login.")
- If the keychain is locked, type the password to unlock it.
- Type the current password for this keychain.
- Type a new password, then type it again to verify.
- Click OK.
You can use Password Assistant to help you choose a new password. Click the key button to the right of the Password field to see how secure your new password is.
