Can I prevent keychain from saving information? For instance, every time I go to my bank's website, keychain displays its little box with a key in it that says "<my bank account number>for this website". It does this because the bank website asks for the account number rather than a user name. I don't really need or want keychain to remember my usernames or passwords. I can do that by myself. I never choose "save this password", so I'm hoping that keychain doesn't have passwords in there.

If I could get rid of keychain altogether I would but I guess that is not an option. But can I instruct keychain to NOT save specific information?

I used utilities/keychain access to try and delete the information, but I don't see my bank explicitly listed. But perhaps it is one the zillion anonymous 'application key's. Even if I could find it, that would only fix it one time. I presume it would save the information again the next time I logged in.
