Remove a Saved Password

If you have saved your password and decide that you no longer wish to keep it saved, you can remove it. By doing so, you will have to enter your password each time you wish to sign on.

To remove a saved password from the Sign On screen:

  1. On the AOL Desktop for Mac Sign In screen, be sure your screen name appears in the Screen Name: box.
  2. Click the Save in Keychain box to clear it.
  3. Click the Sign In button. Once you have successfully connected to the Internet, your status is updated so that your password is no longer saved.

To remove a saved password through the Applications folder:

  1. Double-click the Mac HD or the OS X 10.x icon.
  2. Double-click the Applications folder.
  3. Double-click the Utilities folder.
  4. Double-click the Keychain Access icon.
  5. Click AOL Desktop once to highlight it.
  6. Note: If you see multiple copies of AOL Desktop, it means that the password is saved for more than one screen name. The Account: option in the description section, displays the account for which the password is stored. Choose the appropriate account for which you wish to remove the stored password.

  7. Click the Edit menu, then click Delete.
  8. Click the Delete button to confirm.
