Login password changing

Avatar Richard I
Hi, I intend to strengthen my login password on my Mac book by replacing it with a better one. Are there likely to be any follow-on difficulties with keychains? (Reading some Apple help web pages has left me with some trepidation)
Thanks
Richard

It won't create difficulties unless you've forgotten your existing password. When you update your admin (login) password, the OS used to offer to change your login keychain password to match but I'm not sure it does any more. If it doesn't. there's a menu option in Keychain Access to change the login keychain password but you need the existing one to be able to change it.

Thanks, I had a feeling that it must simple (being Apple), but clearly it is more involved if you have forgotten your password.
