SSB keeps showing Chrome Safe Storage keychain dialog about chrome-ssb-osx

[lhl]

What URL do you have set for the SSB? I haven't seen that msg before...

I've had this happen several times. There were two things I did to fix the
problem. First, I opened Keychain Access and deleted the keys that the
popup dialog were referring to (the dialogs I saw referred to different
keys than yours, but the root problem is the same). Second, I opened Chrome
Settings in the SSB and unchecked the two settings under "Passwords and
forms". That permanently fixed the problem for me.

If you log into a Google account in your SSB via Chrome Settings (aka
Preferences), and then change the two settings I mentioned, when you
create a new SSB for the same Google account, it will remember these
settings. I use 6 or 7 SSBs for my business Google Apps account and by
signing in via Chrome when I first create the SSB, all my settings are
applied and I avoid these kind of problems.

Thanks @jeffpoulton this one's been gettin me too. Couldn't figure it out and it was stopping me from using Chrome SSB's, but now everything seems to be working well.

If you're using a different Chrome User for each SSB, then you'll also need to disable the Passwords/Forms options for each user as well.

[dcunited001]

It was working great at first. Now, for some reason it's popping up again.

I followed your directions and created the SSB after ensuring the keys were deleted. Then created the SSB and even created a Supervised Chrome user. Everything was working, but I realized I had created the SSB in the wrong directory. I tried to create another and after this point, but I cannot get the $#@! keys to stay deleted, whatever I do. I have never typed so many passwords in my life. (1 to open PW Safe, 2 to log into chrome, 3 to decrypt my chrome settings, then chrome forgets it's logged in, etc, etc,etc ...)

All I know is this is infinitely easier on Linux.

I have no idea what happened for me. Like I said, it was working at first. The ONLY way i could get the popups to stop was by viewing "Chrome Safe Storage" in Keychain Access and setting it to be accessible by all applications. I'm not really sure whether to be concerned about this, but whatever.

I've spent hours trying to get this to work and it's incredibly frustrating to have to enter passwords over and over and over again.

[dcunited001]

Thanks for your suggestions @jeffpoulton. I really appreciate it, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

[jeffpoulton]

Sorry to hear that it's such a hassle. It has been months since I bumped
into this problem, so it is likely I'm forgetting about a step I took. If I
recall anything else I did, I'll circle back. Hopefully you can find a
solution in the meantime, because SSBs are extremely convenient.

I've just recently started getting this same "Chrome Safe Storage" keychain problem as well. When I start an SSB I have to click "Always Allow" 20 times (same message, same "Chrome Safe Storage" item) before it lets the SSB start. And while I'm browsing it'll pop up again and I have to click another 10 times or so. And then when I quit the SSB I sometimes have to click through a few as well.

Is it possible that a recent Chrome update has changed something here? I've tried deleting "Chrome Safe Storage" from my keychain and also disabling both "Passwords and forms" checkboxes but nothing seems to help.

[sreynen]

I had this same problem, and the only solution was what dcunited001 described: open keychain and set the keychain item to be "accessible by all applications." I'm not really clear on what this does, but it hasn't caused any problems so far.

[bradbatt]

Same issue and it is super annoying!

I had changed the keychain to "Allow all applications to access this item" before, but I think I still had the SSB open when I did it…and it never worked.

I just closed the SSB, then went into keychain to make the change, and then opened the SSB back up and the problem seems to have gone away for now. Will see if it comes back.

[dcunited001]

I can't say whether or not it's secure to add this permission for all applications. However, I don't store passwords or anything in chrome.

[chrisgross]

I'm currently having this problem. Updating the keychain doesn't help. I'm trying to use this with web.airdroid.com. It also asks me every time if it can access my contacts.

[dcunited001]

For the contacts, I usually just select "don't allow" for each SSB and it doesn't seem to ask again. I could be wrong about that.

[adzenith]

I just had to press "Always allow" 51 times. Saving web passwords is turned off, as is Autofill. Does anyone have other solutions for this problem?
P.S. Thanks for the script!

[adzenith]

Hm, okay. I quit yet another time, reset the "Allow all applications to access this item" radio button (it seems to switch away from that by itself), and now it appears to work.

[hannestyden]

"Allow all applications to access this item" for "Chrome Safe Storage" removed the annoyance for me.

Thanks for the tip. 🙇

@jeffpoulton just tried your suggestion and its not working for me. I was trying to create a chrome ssb for sunrise calendar and it is failing miserably with all these 'Chrome Safe Storage' alerts. Have you tried to create a Chrome SSB recently that accesses a Google Apps account?

[jeffpoulton]

Dean, sorry my suggested fix didn't work for you. Apparently it hasn't
worked for other people as well. Go figure. I continue to create SSBs
without the error, but I no longer recall specifically what else I might
have done. Sorry :-(

Installing the Chrome 36 beta fixed this problem for me.
