delete the login keychain found in the Library/Keychains folder of the
problem account.
The next time you launch Safari it will complain about not finding a
keychain and you can choose to reset to defaults. Enter the password
for that account and a new keychain is created. That will fix the
problem, I see it quite often.
If you have lots of stuff in the keychain you don't want to lose you
can try keychain first aid first. Sometimes that repairs it too.

Yes, sort of, in safari both my children ( whose accounts have
parental controls turned on, but I don't htink this is it) have to
hit cancel on the keychain pop up constantly to view web pages, it
doesn't happen for the other three accounts on the systems.

Ronni, your memory is amazing, I thought I might have asked this
question before but couldn't find the answer.
If I have one user that has admin privileges' is it possible to turn
off keychain for other people?
NO, they require Keychain to store their passwords to login to their
Accounts, their email accounts, iTunes Apple Music Store account.
It's worrying me ... why you want to "Turn Off" Keychain? Are you
having a problem in your Account or a Non Admin. Account?
Cheers,
Ronni

You asked this question before back on 5 November 2006.
My answer to you then, and now is the same.
Begin Quote from my email:
"Short Answer to 'Can you Disable Keychain Completely' : No.
Apple's OS X requires at least one admin user account tied to a
password.
See <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156> for more
details.
The core philosophy behind Mac OS X is that a user with Admin
privileges *needs*
to enter his/her password to install or update any software.
This is a big part of what makes the Mac so much more secure than
other platforms
and there is rightly no way around it."
End Quote:
Or disable it for certain apps, like safari?
In Safari, you could try turning OFF AutoFill.
Open Safari, choose Preferences > Autofill and uncheck all three
Items.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi all
On my Intel iMac I can receive and send emails using Entourage
without a problem and without using a password.
However when I switched to Mac Mail the program asks me for a
password and does not accept the password which would normally give
me access to Westnet server.
I have checked at Mail preferences - Accounts which looks OK and
phoned Westnet but they could not help.
Hi John,
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Open Keychain Access > Passwords > Internet.
3. Find the password that Mail is having a problem with and delete
it,
then quit Keychain Access.
4. Restart Mail and enter the password again when asked, and check
to
the box to save it in the Keychain.
It shouldn't ask you again unless your Keychain becomes corrupted in
the future.
