I installed Chrome to give it a spin. Since installing I get an annoying message that "ubd is trying to access my keychain" usually after login but sometimes for no apparent reason.
I know that this is part of the ubiquity software used by iCloud under Mac 10.7.2, but I have never had this message before. I have not set up iCloud in any software including Chrome other than Find My Mac and Find My iPad.
I went to my keychain and found that all my Firefox passwords were imported by Chrome, but that they were empty--no password at all. I deleted all of these items in the keychain (all time stamped the same so identifying them was easy). I still got the message.
Finally, I uninstalled Chrome using Trash Me and reinstalled Firefox. The problem went away. My keychain seems to be acting normal again, no annoying messages. I checked the domain of the place the computer was trying to contact--it was Apple World Wide. Any ideas as to what exactly Chrome did to start this in the first place and why the imported passwords were empty?
Forgot to mention, I use Virus Barrier X6. The messages identifying the attempt to access keychain were generated by the firewall. As of now, no more ubd-keychain messages since uninstalling Chrome. Is their code "sloppy"? Opinions? – Robert – 2011-12-07T14:48:34.310
