Lost all my saved website passwords, had to re-login to my calendar sync, etc., but at least I can use the computer again. Thanks. | |

Your current default keychain will be moved aside, but not deleted". As soon as I did this the securityd_service went from 51-53% CPU to 0-1.5%. As soon as you do you're required to re-sign in to iCloud - I haven't yet discovered other ramifications. | |
