Mac - Microsofft App - client - unable to change or save credentials - can't access default keychain
I'm unable to save/update credentials to my keychain with this app. Locking/unlocking/rebooting does not fix. Everything else seems to be working fine so I'm assuming this new app is broken. MBP M3, ...

After "upgrading" to the latest Remote Desktop app on macOS -- now called "Windows App", you will not be able to save passwords as the app doesn't have access to your keychain for previously-stored passwords.
To remedy this, expanding on what lawhonj said:
- Open Keychain Access
- Open the default keychain where your passwords are stored (usually called "login").
- Search in the upper right for "com.microsoft.rdc.macos" -- this will show the stored password items.
- For each item:
- Right click and select Get Info
- Click Access Control tab
- Click +
- Navigate to Applications and select Windows App
- Click Save Changes - this will require authentication.
