keychain woes after re-install
Jason Davies
I've had a persistent sound problem with my M1 Mac mini so ended up at the Apple Store just before the one year warranty ran out. They write a few tests and reset the firmware and handed it back so I've put everything back via time machine.
Every time I start up a long list of things asked for access to 'Login renamed 1' keychain. Some of them I recognise (e.g. raycast), some are more obscure to me (eg assistantd).
This is not a password for a particular website but access to the whole keychain and I can't work out how to give those apps (Especially assistantd) the access it needs to prevent be typing in my password eight times every restart. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I tried copy pasting all the passwords in the renamed one to the original one (Login) but that raised a new hell of typing in the password or clicking on error buttons so I cancelled...
Cheers,
Jason

Go to /Users/<your-username>/Library/Keychains/ there will likely be a Login Renamed 1 keychain there, try moving it to the Desktop/Trash and log out/in, see if that helps.

You should be able to open the old keychain in the Keychain Access app, then drag & drop to the new keychain.

Two issues there: firstly, the apps seem to already have access to the old but not the new, which makes me want to drag them to the old one rather than the new. (But then I guess I'll have to do it for all of them as they're added as the new one is the default grrr)
Secondly I can't seem to drag and drop anything. I tried copying and pasting but then I have to give permission for each of the 1000+ entries (so it tells me) - even when I say 'always allow'. I'm not sure my sanity can take that;)
Do you use iCloud Keychain?
Yes and tbh thought that would take care of it all. An awful lot of passwords are in there...
Strongly tempted to clone the hard drive, reboot from that, mess around and see how much damage it does. What I can't do is lose passwords without making a huge amount of work for myself (bah).
Is there really not a way to give something permanent access to a particular keychain?...
Cheers,
Jason

Are you sure I should be able to drag and drop? It's not working here at all (copy-paste does, but as I said is problematic in practice...)
Unfortunately I seem to have collected quite a few keychains (login, login_renamed_1, <username, 'extra' (2 of these), 'system'...Very hard to tell which ones are meaingful;)
Cheers,
