Fixed: Windows.app: Unable to save changes made to the password as the default keychain can’t be accessed.

in technology and code

I recently changed my password and since then have been getting this error in Windows.app (i.e. Remote Desktop) on my Mac:

Unable to save changes made to the password as the default keychain can’t be accessed

Instead of messing with Keychain Access, resetting prefs on disk, etc., all I ultimately had to do was this within the Windows app itself:

  1. Preferences > Credentials
  2. Remove the credential
  3. Re-add the credential

And then update the config for any related connections to use the “new” credential.

That’s it.
