    Safari is connecting to every website in the Favorite Bookmarks Bar, even if you don't open any of them. That's not really privacy.

    Hello, since I am using the firewall Little Snitch again, I recognized directly after launching, Safari is connecting to all websites in the favorites bar in every profile I am opening a window for. I think it's just fetching some image as avatar for the websites. This isn't new, but I mostly...

    Hi, on a new MacOS user account when you go to open Keychain Access to look up a password, the system gives you the option to Open Keychain Access or to Open Passwords - the newer, easier (imo) option in Sys Preferences. I had selected KA, and 'Do not show again' but now wish for that lookup...

    Any chance macOS 14 allows using the apple password manager on apps like chrome or other web browsers? I know they have a plug-in for PCs but not for Macs.

    Can chrome make use of keychain passwords

    Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things). If I did decide...

    Just a tip for anyone unable to import a csv file of passwords exported from another password manager into Monterey’s password manager: Take a look at the file in a text editor and search for quotation characters in any passwords that your old manager generated. The importer seems to trip even...

    Transfer WiFi Passwords from "System" keychain to "Local Items" (aka, iCloud) Keychain

    For reasons I am not sure, years of saved WiFi passwords are on my Mac under the System keychain, meaning they are not syncing to my iPhone over iCloud Keychain. I cannot figure out a way to move these items to the Local Items keychain, which is the iCloud Keychain. Dragging and dropping...

    iCloud passwords in third-party browsers?

    My prefered browser on iOS is Chrome and it's Firefox on macOS. As far as I remember, iOS does sync passwords used in Chrome to iCloud but is there a way to access those on macOS when using Firefox? Preferably without turning on either Chrome or Firefox Sync. Thanks!

    Edit: I had a much longer post than this which had edits as I learned more and corrected my previous conclusions. I've now realised that the problem is really that the High Sierra update has wiped every password from my keychain. It's not a Mail problem. Keychain has no remains of any of my...
