Thanks Jewels. It’s not Keychain that is the bother.
It is the boot access when I start the machine. It doesn’t require any kind of password to open up and get into the operating system. This worries me. I have changed by bank and credit card passwords over the phone, not using my computer. They should be OK if there was a problem. But the problem remains. How is it that I can boot in without any password?
