Passwords takes a long time to load on macOS

Why does Passwords take so long to load? Every time I open it, the loading process for passwords, passkeys, and everything else takes so long to complete.


My passwords version is Version 2.6.2 (21624.5.1.11.3)

I am running MacOS 26.7.2 (25G332)

My processor is 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9

My memory is 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

hmmm... not heard this issue before.


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 this sorts many anomalies. No data is lost.


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.


Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


report back your success or failure.
