Sure enough, there it was, a “Web form password” for Reddit. In my case, the website in question was Reddit. Once Keychain Access is open, do a search for the offending website in the search bar in the upper right-hand corner.

You’ll probably be prompted for your administrator password to mess around with Keychain Access. Or, go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. To open your Keychain Access, search for Keychain Access via Spotlight. I was wasting my time.Īs the pop-up message states, this was an issue with accessing some data in the Keychain, so obviously, I needed to do some snooping around the Keychain in order to see what was up. Hence, deleting password history, and sync settings within Chrome wasn’t going to do a thing. This message is requesting access to the keychain, not something stored within Chrome’s settings. I’m going to go ahead and take most of the blame for my frustration, because if I would have just read the message and thought about it for a while, I would have fixed this a long time ago. After some clicks, the message will go away, but a simple refresh of the website in question will cause the pop-up message to rear its ugly head once more.

As stated above, it doesn’t matter which buttons you click on this message. Remember, this data was saved to the keychain via Safari, not Chrome. This is where trouble beganĬhrome, for whatever nefarious reason, hits up the Keychain Access to request the confidential password information stored there. Safari asking to save my Reddit password. Chrome doesn’t care that you used Safari to save these passwords, it simply request access anyway…repeatedly…over and over, until it drives you to the brink of losing it. At one time, I decided to save passwords with Safari, and that’s where my troubles began. Apparently, Safari saves passwords to the Keychain, and Chrome simply sees them as a plain old “Web form password”, so it requests access from the Keychain. The problem, oddly enough, seems to stem from my former use of Safari, a browser I haven’t used in quite a while.

If you’re having the same problem, which apparently many Chrome users on the Mac are, then take a look inside for the fix… Basically, I got to the point where If I saw that message one more time, I was going to rip my hair out!īut I solved the issue, and it was actually easier, and more obvious than I expected. I tried disabling password syncing in Chrome’s settings, clearing all saved passwords, etc., all to no avail.
