- You should see a whole bunch of application passwords for “Auto Unlock: XXXX’s …”
- Select all records and delete (this will reset/disable auto unlock on other Macs if you use multiple Macs)
- While still in “Keychain Access”, search for “AutoUnlock” (no space)
- There should be four entries for “tlk” “tlk-nonsync” “classA” “classC”
- Select four records and delete (don’t worry if they re-appear, the system repairs this automatically)
- Open “Finder” and navigate to “~/Library/Sharing/AutoUnlock”
