Managing Source Passwords Using Keychain Technology

If you choose to use a Keychain to manage your Source password, at each log in, you may be asked if you would like to update the password.  In order to use the stored password, you must select not now.  SPS is unable to address problems parents and guardians may have with password storage software.
