1. If you use Avast Security on a compatible Mac system, Avast Passwords is installed by default. For instructions to download and install Avast Security on your Mac, refer to the following article: For instructions to download and install Avast Security on your Mac, refer to the following article.
2. Keychain is linked between devices using iCloud however Apple is very careful how the passwords are stored and it doesn’t think a web interface is a secure platform to access sensitive information from.

hello ,

i my MacBook was infected with some adwares and Trojan . Avast removed it after a scan .

I got many pop ups that /users/macbookair/library/keychains/login.keychain-db is infected with trojan and it is moved to virus chest .

Be warned that resetting a login password allows a user to log in with a new password, but changing passwords this way does not reset keychain passwords, master passwords, or network passwords used in a directory service environment. The keychain system manages encrypted files that are used to securely save passwords, certificates, or notes. By default, users have a login keychain that has the same password as their account. Not even other administrative users can access keychain secrets without knowing the keychain's password. Passwords and credit card information are encrypted in your OS X keychain and your iCloud Keychain. Set up iCloud Keychain on your Mac Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.

Now i have 800+ saved passwords In my keychain and whenever I login into anywhere with saved password auto fill ( or manually fill the correct password ) I cannot login to that website , no emails login , no Facebook , no YouTube .

I did recovery of OS BY Command+R , didn't helped.

I erased OS and recovery , but deleted all my data and it worked . But I had to recover it with time machine backup as my data is precious .

so scanned again and it happened again by that anti virus .

I know this has been asked here several times, but I already checked the other discussions and tried their suggestions, but without success.Is there anything I can do instead of re-installing the complete system?

When certain applications want to access the keychain, I am getting asked for the 'login' keychain password repeatedly and never-ending, even though I type in the correct password.

I already tried the following, separate from each other:

• Keychain Access > Preferences > Reset my default key chain
• reset the password (new password = old password) of the login keychain
• Deleting the ~/Library/Keychains/XYZ.. folder (as suggested here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/148437/5924)
• restarted several times

Now I wanted to simply grant access to all applications to certain keychains, but when wanting to save the changes, I have the same as the original issue: I get asked for the login keychain password, which never gets accepted.I am definitely typing the correct password, I can even lock and unlock the keychain with it without problems. Or even reset the password. It just won't help.(And in case it matters: the 'login' keychain password is the same that I use for my user account.)

(I'm on El Capitan, the Keychain Access is Version 9.0 (55171.20.2))

Related discussions, but none of them helped:

UPDATE

I just came across this thread: Keychain does not show passwords after El Capitan upgrade

and indeed, this is also the message I am getting in the /var/log/system.log:

but I am already using a real mouse (Magic Mouse) and/or the built-in touchpad of my Mac, so the proposed solution there does not help much:

So a solution to this problem is to use a physical mouse to interact with the Keychain.

(By the way: I have all recent updates installed that I got auto-notified about via App Store.)

What's also interesting, looking at the system.log: it shows a lot of these lines quite frequentely, without any user interaction and every few seconds:

(Now I just removed the keychain from being stored on iCloud and the error in the log stopped.)

I had exactly the same problem with Lync messenger - request to enter a keychain password, over and over again, even though password was the correct one. Tried numerous suggestions, nothing worked. Until I found this one:

• go to the folder userid/Library/Keychains
• look for a key with the file name from the password request window
• delete this file (only this one!)
• try again your app - password is accepted now

Somehow this key was not shown in Keychain Access, like it does not exist. But actual key file was present in keychain folder.

Seems to be some bug in macOS (I am on Sierra) when it can't see key-file, and then another bug - system tries to create a new key-file, but file operation fails (file already exists there). I would suggest to the apple devs to add a proper exception handling there, but I am satisfied for now - problem fixed.

I just disabled FileVault under my System Settings > Security & Privacy last night and let the HD decrypt again and voila, now the keychain works fine again.I had activated it only recently, but had no idea that this would cause such problems and side-effects.

(Other issues with FileVault are probably related, such as Reset Password app in recovery mode not showing and disks)

A boot into Recovery Mode (Command + R right after reboot) and Disk Utility > First Aid on the main disk solved the problem for me.
