This mini-utility will automatically unlock your keychain on system startup. It will also unlock it whenever you run the application. It's quite handy for those of us who love the keychain, but hate the fact that every time we restart or boot-up, we must unlock it first before it can be used.
You will need MacOS 9 (with the Keychain installed and active) to make use of this application.
How Do I Use It?
Simply place the application anywhere on your hard disk. Run it, and the first time you run it will ask you to enter the password for your default keychain. Once you've clicked OK, it will attempt to unlock the keychain. If it is successful, it will store an alias to itself in the Startup Items folder. From then on, every time the system is rebooted, the app will run and unlock the keychain without intervention from you.
To disable the auto-unlock, simply remove the alias in the Startup Items folder of your System Folder. If you want to disable the auto-login before startup, use the Extensions Manager Control Panel (hold down the Space Bar while the system boots).
To change the password the application uses, hold down the Command Key and double click the application. The password dialog should reappear, and allow you to change it.
Is It Secure?
The preferences (and your password) are scrambled, so prying eyes cannot decipher your password via the prefs file. This gives this method of unlocking your password a distinct advantage over other automatic utilities or methods.
