Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/2298

Describe the bug
It is impossible to interact with the application due to an error blocking the addition of keys.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I deleted the previous version from the application and from the trash.
installed 4.8.12.9 Latest
After installation is complete, when the amnezia application is launched automatically
(after forced Qiut and upon repeated manual start)
See error:

AmneziaVPN wants to use your confidential
information stored in "AmneziaVPN-Keychain" in
your keychain.

To allow this, enter the "login" keychain password.

Password:
Always Allow, Deny, Allow

Pressing the Deny button opens this error again, if you repeat it 3 to 5 times, the Let's Get Started window will be available
If you enter the access key, the server is not added, but the error described above is displayed.

Expected behavior
I'm looking forward to being able to add a server via a key.

Log files
Tell me where I can find the log and I will add it.

Screenshots

Device: [MacBook pro 16-inch, 2019]
CPU: [2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9]
OS: [macOS]
Version [15.2 (24C101)]

Additional context

@Davydov-Ivan

I figured it out, the amnesia app for some reason asks for a password several times, 4-6 times, but the fact that you have to enter the password several times when rebooting or closing and opening the app is very sad

Hello!
I’m using Tahoe 26.3.1 with Amnezia client version 4.8.15.4 and had the same issue.

When I tried to add a server key in the Amnezia app, macOS showed a prompt asking for access to the login Keychain. If I clicked “Deny”, at first the new server was not added, and later the application started crashing completely. Entering the login keychain password multiple times and following the solution described above did not help in my case.

What helped in my case was the following:

And also I completely removed the application from my Mac. After reinstalling the app, macOS immediately kept asking me to enter the login Keychain password again and again, so I closed the application.

Then I opened Keychain Access and deleted the "AmneziaVPN-Keychain" passwords from the login keychain before launching Amnezia again. After that, the keychain entries were recreated correctly, and the app started working normally afterward.
