Hi people.

Is there a way to know the list of apps which have access to keychain? A few days ago an app requested access. I click no to such requests without even bothering to know which app. But, by mistake I clicked allow. A couple of days later it asked again. And there was no app name just " is requesting access to keychain". And then I realized I haven't installed a new app in over 6 months. So possibly could be some malicious software. Now I need to find a list of software's and disable that all or a few apps.

Please help.

Open Keychain app then select your keychain and sort on the Kind column like in my screenshot. Then scroll down to the "application password" entries like in my screenshot. Those are all apps you have allowed access. You can see the date column there to that may help you narrow it down.

Thanks a lot buddy. That helped. But, I think I've deleted a key by mistake. The private counterpart of

public key, RSA, 2048-bit

Know anything about it or how can I get it back?
