+			<p>Keychain Access will require your keychain password to go through with this; usually, this is the same as your Mac OS X login password. (It is *not* the password you're deleting.)</p>
+			<p>That said, it is safer to leave them in the Keychain, so you don't delete a password saved by another application by mistake. There is no harm in having keychain items that you aren't using.</p>
