How to Delete Keychains in Mac

Are you tired of dealing with multiple keychains on your Mac and want to simplify things? Deleting old or unwanted keychains can be a great way to declutter your digital life. In this article, we will guide you through the process of deleting keychains on your Mac.

First, you need to open Keychain Access from the Utilities folder. You can find it in the Applications/Utilities folder. Once opened, select 'Keychain System Roots' from the sidebar.

Next, click on the root certificate that you want to remove and double-click it. This will bring up a prompt asking for your old password. Enter your old UWEC password and click OK.

Now, go to the 'Edit' menu and select 'Change Password for Keychain login.' Enter your new password in the 'New and verified fields' and then enter your old password again in the 'Current password field.'

Once you have changed your password, restart your computer. After restarting, log back into your computer.

You may receive a warning that your computer will restart and erase all passwords. This is normal, so just click OK to continue.

After logging back in, you should see a prompt asking for your password for Enterprise Connect, Outlook, and iCloud. If you have forgotten your old password, you can reset it by following the instructions below.

To reset your keychain, go to Keychain Access and select 'Reset My Default Keychain.' Enter your new password to match your current University password.

That's it! You have now successfully deleted a keychain on your Mac. Remember to always keep your passwords secure and up-to-date to avoid any potential issues.
