It sounds as an issue either with the Keychain App. Try repairing it.
To do so just:. Locate the Keychain Access application, under /Applications/Utilities. Choose Keychain Access Keychain First Aid. Enter your User name and Password. Select Verify and click Start. If any problems were found, select Repair and click Start again. It could be, too, that you've changed your account password without using the Accounts Preferences pane.
I have just installed cryptomator version 1.3.1 when I click + sign to add a new vault app asks for storage location after selecting storage location and naming new vault, saving, there is no request for password on re-opening cryptomator app there are no vaults shown in cryptomator window.
If that is the case, for your default keychain to be unlocked automatically when logged in, you'll have to Synchronize your Keychain Access and login passwords. To do so just:.
Open Keychain Access. From the Edit menu, choose Change Password for Keychain 'login.'
. Type the former password of the account that you are currently logged in to, then click OK. If you entered the correct password, a new window appears; enter the original password again in the Current Password field. In the New Password field, type the password that matches your current account password.
Re-enter the newer password in the Verify field, then click OK. This is needed because, as Apple If you change your account's password using your Mac OS X Install disc (or if your network-based account password is changed due to a network admin forcing a password change), your default keychain password (which uses the same initial password as your user account) does not change. Because of this, you will be prompted to enter a keychain password each time an application requires authentication that your keychain would normally provide.
I had the same problem. It has bothered me for several weeks on my new Mac. It should be caused by changing Mac password using 3rd party software. On macOS El Capitan and Sierra, there is no Keychain Access Keychain First Aid. Changing login keychain's password does not help.
To solve this problem, you have to reset your default keychain. Open Keychain Access, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
Choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu (or Cmd,), then click the Reset My Default Keychain button in the preferences window. After you enter your new password (same to the password of your Mac account), Keychain Access creates an empty login keychain with no password. Click OK to confirm. (If you don't see a Reset My Default keychain button, close the preferences window and select the “login” keychain from the left side of the Keychain Access window. Press the Delete key, then click Delete References.). Choose Log Out from the Apple menu to return to the login screen.

Log in to your account. Your account password and login keychain password now match. There is a bug that is affecting some users which is related to this. You may see the colour wheel of death when you get the certificate trust prompt from some applications, like Microsoft Remove Desktop of Microsoft Office (weird but it happened only with these to me!) Once you see the colour wheel, your only change is to reboot and after this you will get several prompts for keychain password BUT you would have to type your old password even if you previously reconfigured Keychain Access to use the same password. I will give lots of beers to the one that solves this issue, it drives me crazy! I came across this same issue on El Capitan, and had already searched and tried all suggestions on here. My solution was to disable FileVault under System Settings Security & Privacy and everything works fine again.
Update: Before you downvote because you can't understand how someone can disable the default FileVault encryption: I don't see the downside of disabling FileVault. For really sensitive data, other tools such as Symantec Drive Encryption / PGP or TrueCrypt can be used. At least it doesn't get in the way like FileVault does with the system keychain. As mentioned in the comments, I had searched on SO for this questions and found several answers, of which none worked for me.
Therefore disabling FileVault (and switching to another, independent encryption tool for the data you want or need encrypted) is a viable option. 'Advantages vs disadvantages with using file vault'. You need to create a new keychain if admin has changed your password. Per and: The keychain password is available only to the user and not the administrator. If the login password is reset by the administrator, the keychain password is not changed. The user is asked to reset the keychain password during the next login.
If the login password was reset because the user forgot the old password, the keys, passwords, and other information in the keychain won’t be accessible, and the user will need to create a new keychain.
I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail. I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. With my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts).it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server.
Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:. Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL). Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS) The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing) and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as. I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said 'if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465.just leave them. And I.am.
able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message 'server not recognised' or whatever it says.I can't recall the exact words. I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way). Apple did ask, however i f my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained that it really isn'y.my. choice; it's the server people's choice.
My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office. I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? With Outlook?
Or with my Server? Or possibly all of the above? And how does one identify the real issue? Hi Steve, Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues.at least this is what I've read elsewhere too. Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have.not. been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue.who knows?
All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac. Steve, On another note.I see you use Thunderbird. One of the challenges my BT tech guys and I have been having is importing my Windows Live Mail emails (.eml I believe) to Outlook (Mac). I have an old machine that can't handle the migration/move so we are trying to install an old version of Outlook (for Windows) on my Vista machine and move the mail from that Outlook (once we move it from WLM to Outlook) to the Mac Outlook.however there is a possibility my Vista machine will not survive; it's being repaired as we speak. If I don't have access to that old computer, and yet I.do. have my WLM backed up an external drive, have you any experience of importing WLM into Outlook?
