 | About 2 weeks ago I upgraded my Macbook Air 2013 to MacOS Sonoma, and it went quite smoothly. I've been using the laptop lightly every day, mainly doing web stuff, plus MS Word/Excel/Outlook. Yesterday, for the first time, I took the laptop on the road and tried to open an excel spreadsheet located on a OneDrive folder, before I had established a WiFi connection. I was prompted with I have never seen this before, and I've NEVER used (knowingly) the 'keychain'. I had no idea 'what' password was being asked for - it just says 'enter the "login" keychain password' - but what password is this? My laptop's local password? My AppleID password? I tried both, and neither were accepted. Various google searches suggested I take certain actions, and I followed a few guides, but they wanted me to 'lock' the login keychain, and that option was grayed out in my case. In desperation, I chose to 'Reset to defaults', which seemed to go well. After this, I had to reenter lots of passwords, but things seemed to work. Then I ignored the laptop for a couple of days, but tonight I tried to use it, and as soon as I opened it up, I got 'keychain not found', with the only real option 'reset to defaults', so I did that (again). and .. again, things seemed to work - I had to re-enter all my passwords/account details for office, etc. I have NO IDEA if this is related to OCLP or not; the only thing I know is, I have never consciously touched 'keychain' on this or any other Apple device (giving it a wide berth out of ignorance/fear ...). Could this be related to OCLP? If not, is there a good resource to get some insight into this? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
