keychain on Mac OS X may contain several password records, which actually refer to the same password. for example, searching for "google" in keychain gives three records:
- jabber - application password (iChat)
- google.com - internet password (Firefox, Safari, Chrome)
- jabber - internet password (Adium)
you could also have POP3/IMAP/SMTP passwords on gmail, if you use Mail. they all refer to one password for google account. this means that the password cannot be changed in one place anymore. fail.
what can be done? merging of the records is not possible, since different applications look for saved passwords using their rules. maybe aliasing or symlinking of all duplications to one record is possible? then how to handle different kinds of records (application password, internet password, web form password)?
