So I can see all of my passwords, cool, but how is Keychain different from a pen and paper? Security.

Except in the case of certificates, you can double-click on one of these items to open a window where you can view the item’s attributes-name, kind, associated account, location (a website or network address)-as well as its access control (meaning the applications and services allowed to access the item). The largest pane, to the right, displays the contents of selected category items-for example, all of the items that have a password associated with them.

Here (the category pane) you can choose to view specific kinds of things stored in the keychain like passwords, secure notes, certificates associated with your account, encryption keys, and certificates used broadly by your Mac. The top-left pane lists Keychain’s accessible to you and below that is the Category pane. Launch Keychain Access, and you’ll see that the window is divided into three panes. With Keychain, Mac users can turn 10 passwords into 1 in the blink of an eye! Magic? Nope, Keychain. Keychain allows users to store all of their passwords in one secure location. Keychain is a password storage and management program which comes pre-installed on Mac computers. So how can one avoid the inconvenience of forgetting important passwords in today’s fast-paced world? Simple, Keychain Access and Keepass. Have you ever had that awkward moment when you forgot the password to your bank account and missed your rent payment? Maybe not, but I’m sure you’ve forgotten a password at least once in your life, which is easy to do considering the average person uses about 10 passwords a day.
