Keychain Access is a password manager app that comes preloaded on your Mac, and can safely store all of your usernames and passwords.

Password managers are a great way to secure your personal data, and Keychain Access will let you use strong passwords on every site without needing to remember each one.

However, even if you've never purposefully used Keychain Access on your Mac, your computer might start pestering you to enter your 'keychain password' — this is the master password that all your other information is locked behind.

Usually, this password will be the same user password you use to log onto your computer. It's possible, though, for the keychain and user passwords to fall out of sync.

If this is the case, you're in luck. You can change your Mac's keychain password at any time, even if you don't know it.

Here's how.
