            How to Clear Cached/Saved Credentials on MacOS (10.8+)
Keychain Access, found in the Utilities application folder, is a tool that allows the user to save credentials in a secure cache, eliminating the need to remember dozens of usernames and passwords. To clear the cache of saved credentials, follow the instructions below: 
1. Find and open the Utilities folder located in the Application folder. 

 
2. Open the Keychain Access tool. 

 
3. On the bottom-left-hand side of the Keychain Access tool window, select the Passwords tab. 

 
4. Right-click an item from the list of saved credentials and select Delete "[Name]".
