How are we to troubleshoot Keychain issues, if we cant open Keychain Access.app if the users password isnt working? I've tried deleting the db in ~/Library/Keychains/ and rebooted, but that didnt help. This guy is getting prompts for login keychain for any non-browser app, including Self Service. Typically, in Sonoma and below we'd delete the login keychain in Keychain Access, delete the folder in ~/Library/Keychains then reboot, and at next login the user is prompted to create a new keychain. That aint happening now, and I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.

Could try a script to clean it out:

+13This is for the users login keychain, located in ~/Library/Keychains. And yep, in that directory I had him manually move everything to the trash. I havent yet tried /Library/Keychains - I think that is where the system keychains are stored, but could give it a shot. Guys machine aint workin' as it is.
+13Ended up just deleting everything in ~/Library/Keychains, rebooted, and the user was prompted to create a new keychain. Everything's working as it should be now. I should have just gone that route to begin with
here is a user friendly script I wrote for just such an occasion. Can be delivered via SS
