    I just used MainMenu to clean up a few things, rebooted my computer and now everything in the Keychain is gone and it doesn't remember passwords anymore. What's wrong and how can I fix it? (Btw I haven't renamed my User) :confused:

    I think just create a keychain called "login", and set it with your current password should fix it.

    Mind you, I'm not a Max OS X user yet, so I could very likely be wrong. (That said, there's no way that could screw up your system, so what've you got to lose?)

    Fixed it. Turns out Mac OS X backs up your keychain at regular intervals, so all I needed to do was restore the backup.
