The easy way to turn off the password keychain on the Mac

On a daily basis, we visit a variety of websites on the internet. Certain websites may require you to login in order to access content, while others may be transactional in nature, requiring you to submit sensitive information such as your debit or credit card details.

Previously, the individual was required to memorize each of these login items and other credentials, as storing them on the computer or Mac was not secure. However, the Mac now has a virtual safe that is password-protected and encrypted, allowing you to securely store all of your passwords and personal information.
