Is there a way to turn off keychain?
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
Best Regards
Hugh Griffiths

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.
