    Hi,

    I have a Mac and I've just set up a user account for the kids. Before setting up the separate user accounts, they used a couple of websites that were password enabled. I use keychain - the Apple Password manager. The problem is I can't get keychain to save passwords in their new user accounts. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Keychain files may have become corrupt, search for keychain access in spotlight then

    Open the keychain access menu and open launch keychain first aid
    Enter the users password and check the repair box, then click start

    I can access the kids websites with their passwords from my user account, but not from theirs.

    As far as I know you can't share or view keychains like that since each user's keychain is encrypted and protected by the user's password for security reasons.

    You could share they keychain via dropbox but it's a bit of a pain.

    Can you not just re enter their info into keychain on their account

    You should have a look at Lastpass. It's free.

    It's a better password manager.
