Set your keychain password!
Authored by: sabi on Apr 15, '02 11:41:42AM

If you set your keychain password to something different from your login password, then it won't unlock when you log in. Mac OS X just tries your login password in the keychain as well as a convenience, but if it fails, no big deal (and it sounds like it's actually preferable in this lab situation).

Mac OS 9's Keychain Access was a lot more paranoid, it'd ask you for your password when you attempted to view a password. I assume people complained that this was too cumbersome so they changed it.
