I'm writing an app that automates lots of little uploads to a
server. My NSURLConnection delegate is all set to handle
authorization requests - it knows the passwords - but 99% of the
time it does not get reached, but rather the Keychain Access dialog
comes up "App Name wants access to your keychain..." which just
scares and confuses the people who have to use this thing.
But that's the correct behavior. Using the keychain is easier and more
secure than prompting the user for a password. Most Mac apps that
access passwords work this way.
If the user grants the app access, the alert won't come up again. I'm
not sure why your users would get scared or confused, but it sounds
like you need to educate them a bit about this common system feature.
