If like me, you think that Keychain auto-locking is a fantastic feature from a security perspective ... but you find yourself really annoyed by having to type your Keychain password over and over again for some things that are not high security at all, this hint is for you.
Have fun playing with your keychain!
- In Keychain Access (found in /Applications -> Utilities), choose File->New Keychain.
- Save the new keychain as "Low Security" or something like that.
- From the main window, click on "Show Keychains" to get the keychains drawer to appear. Choose your newly created keychain.
- Choose Edit -> Change Settings for Keychain "Low Security." Now, unclick both settings there.
- In the Keychain drawer, choose your default keychain and drag and drop the passwords you never want to type ever again into the "Low Security" keychain.
Have fun playing with your keychain!
