MacOS Keychain Application Access is a unique feature for macOS devices using Device Trust. When some SSO-enabled applications on macOS devices attempt to authenticate users via JumpCloud, they don\u2019t open a browser window to do so. Instead, they present the website in-app, and the app can\u2019t be added to the Device Trust certificate used to authenticate because the device authorizes only supported browsers (Safari, Chrome) access to the Device Trust private key. This results in the user’s device prompting the user for the keychain password when accessing the app, which can cause confusion. When you encounter apps that cause these prompts to appear on macOS devices, you can add these apps as trusted so that your users aren’t prompted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
