🔐 Why is iBrowe asking to access “Confidential Information” in your Keychain on macOS?
📌 Quick Answer: When you update iBrowe (v1.18.75 or later), macOS may ask you to grant access to a private key in your Keychain. This is completely normal and only allows iBrowe to unlock and use the secure data it originally created, like saved passwords and Rewards data.
🛠️ What’s Happening Technically? When you first installed iBrowe, the browser created a random 128-bit secret key. This key is used to encrypt and protect sensitive data, such as:
🔐 Login credentials (stored passwords) 🎁 iBrowe Rewards information ⚙️ Other encrypted browser data To keep this secret key safe, it’s stored in macOS Keychain, which requires your permission to access.
⚙️ Why Am I Seeing the Prompt Now? With version 1.18.75, iBrowe made internal changes (like updating its signing certificate). These changes trigger macOS to re-confirm that iBrowe should still be allowed to access its own key in the Keychain.
You’ll see a pop-up like this:
“iBrowe wants to use your confidential information stored in ‘iBrowe Safe Storage’ in your keychain.” [Always Allow] [Deny] [Allow] ❌ What Happens if I Deny Access? ❗ iBrowe won’t be able to unlock your stored passwords ❗ iBrowe Rewards and encrypted profile data may not work properly 🔐 You may lose access to certain encrypted settings or data ✅ What Happens if I Allow Access? iBrowe will resume normal operations Your passwords, Rewards data, and encrypted info will work as expected iBrowe only accesses its own key, nothing else in your Keychain ✅ Recommended Action ✅ Click “Always Allow” to prevent repeated prompts and ensure smooth browser performance. This does not give iBrowe access to anything else on your Mac. It’s only accessing the secret key it originally created to protect your data.
