How to Remove Safari.app From Your Keychain
In Mac OS X, the keychain remembers all of your login information and passwords, for everything from your Wi-Fi to your social network profiles. Using the keychain can be extremely convenient, but once it remembers a password, the password stays in the system. This means that if you want to remove something from your keychain, you need to do it manually -- even for native applications like Safari.
