 Hi Adrian,

 Re: Mail keeps asking for Password:
 
 If you are sure the Mail POP account has all the correct settings, and the 
 password is correct.
 
 1. Quit Mail
 
 2. Open Keychain Access which (if it's not showing on the top Menu of the 
 desktop) is in Applications  Utilities  Keychain Access.app and manually 
 delete the Keychain entry for the mail account. (He probably has a few if he 
 has continually been clicking Remember password in Keychain)
 
 3. Restart Mail and it will ask for the Mail account's  password again, type 
 in the password and tick
 'Remember this password in my keychain'.
 
 Now the password should be stored correctly and Keychain access will do the 
 email password in the background when you check for new mail.
 
 Do you mean there is another problems when you say:
 Some messages have come and gone before this started.

Hi Adrian,

The Link at the bottom of every WAMUG Mailing List message is the correct link.
The link you suppled in your email was invalid because it had a Colon : at the 
end of the URL which made it invalid.

1. Click this link below:
 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List --
 Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml

2. When the above webpage fully loads: Click “here” under “Archive”

Archive
The complete mailing list archive is available here.

Which then takes you to this Address:

Hi Bill,

When you set up Skype you have to set a Username  Password.
The message you are probably receiving is:
Skype wants to use your confidential information stored in Skype in your 
keychain.
Do you want to allow access to this item?
The choices are: Always allow Deny and Allow

Select Always Allow and you won't receive this message again.

Re: Skype

2010-09-19 Thread Neil Houghton

Hi Ronni, Hi Bill,

I don't use Skype, so this is just me thinking out loud ;o)

I can see that this would solve the problem - it is the same as hitting
allow without having to do it every time (forgive me for stating the
obvious)

The thing is, Bill says he hits Deny rather than Allow and everything
still works OK (except that he keeps getting asked, of course).


So the real question seems to be:

-   Skype does not NEED to access keychain - it works when access is denied
- so why does Skype keep saying it needs to access keychain when it doesn't
REALLY?


Of course, Bill might not really care - given that this provides an easy
fix.


If you are like me and need to know these things ;o) 

Have you tried opening keychain and searching out any skype keychain items
(the fact that you get asked twice ?may? mean you have duplicate items)

When you find the relevant skype item(s) you can double-click it (them) to
open up an Attributes/Access Control window and then check the show
password box (you usually will be asked for your login password) - make
sure to make a note of the password(s)

When you are sure you have recorded any username(s) and password(s) - you
can try deleting the skype keychain items and then try Skype again. You
may be asked again for a username and/or password - if Skype really does
need to have a keychain item it will recreate it using these inputs.



Just a thought - see how you go.


Cheers

 Hi Ronni, Hi Bill,
 
 I don't use Skype, so this is just me thinking out loud ;o)
 
 I can see that this would solve the problem - it is the same as
 hitting
 allow without having to do it every time (forgive me for stating the
 obvious)
 
 The thing is, Bill says he hits Deny rather than Allow and
 everything
 still works OK (except that he keeps getting asked, of course).
 
 
 So the real question seems to be:
 
 -   Skype does not NEED to access keychain - it works when access is
 denied
 - so why does Skype keep saying it needs to access keychain when it
 doesn't
 REALLY?
 
 
 Of course, Bill might not really care - given that this provides an
 easy
 fix.
 
 
 If you are like me and need to know these things ;o) 
 
 Have you tried opening keychain and searching out any skype
 keychain items
 (the fact that you get asked twice ?may? mean you have duplicate
 items)
 
 When you find the relevant skype item(s) you can double-click it
 (them) to
 open up an Attributes/Access Control window and then check the show
 password box (you usually will be asked for your login password) -
 make
 sure to make a note of the password(s)
 
 When you are sure you have recorded any username(s) and password(s)
 - you
 can try deleting the skype keychain items and then try Skype
 again. You
 may be asked again for a username and/or password - if Skype really
 does
 need to have a keychain item it will recreate it using these inputs.
 
 
 
 Just a thought - see how you go.
 
 
 Cheers

 Hi Bill,
 
 When you set up Skype you have to set a Username  Password.
 The message you are probably receiving is:
 Skype wants to use your confidential information stored in Skype
 in your
 keychain.
 Do you want to allow access to this item?
 The choices are: Always allow Deny and Allow
 
 Select Always Allow and you won't receive this message again.

 No I do not use a password, I just choose deny everytime - it
 works fine.
 I just wonder if I can switch this process off ( it asks twice)

 skype tries to store the login/password, i assume you type in the
 password
 to get skype going
 allowing access give auto login capabilities
 every time skype gets updated it will ask for keychain access

 Every time I log into Skype it wants to record something in my
 keychain.
 Should I allow this?  I have always refused and it makes no
 diff. to
 anything I do on Skype.
