How to reset my password?

[langm...@gmail.com]

In an effort to improve my security, I came up with a Yojimbo password
that not even I can remember. It's embarrassing, I know. Can I reset
it? Even better can I use time machine to go back to the days when I
was using the password I remember? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just checked my Yojimbo password. It was stored in my Keychain. When
I tried to view it, KC asked for my Admin password. Once I entered
that, the Yojimbo password appeared. I hope it's that easy for you.

Good luck!!!

Unfortunately not even keychain has access to this password.

Is it in the keychain? If it's in the keychain and you know the
keychain password; you should have access to it. Otherwise maybe
you need to run Keychain FirstAid.

How could it NOT be in the Key chain unless you deleted that entry? I
guess I'm missing something here???

My Yojimbo password has NEVER been in my keychain and I want it that
way. I dont' recall if Yojimbo asked me whether or not to store the
password in the keychain when I set it up but I suspect it does.
There's no preference or place in Yojimbo as far as I can tell to tell
Yojimbo to store the password in the keychain.
Cheers,

Help file -> Yojimbo Password:

Most of the places you are asked for a password from
Yojimbo have a checkbox that allows you to add your Yojimbo
password to the system Keychain. When Yojimbo uses the Keychain
can be controlled from the Security preference panel.

Once you store your Yojimbo Password in the Keychain, the
Keychain Access preferences control the frequency with which you
need to type a password.

So yes, it's a preference, but not one set globally in prefs window.

This is controlled by the Security prefs panel.

If you allow keychain use for any of the specified actions, your Yojimbo
password will (naturally) be stored there; if you do not, then your
password is stored by Yojimbo alone.
