Was the actual password different from what john printed? Can you feed
your actual password to john and see if john cracks login.keychain
successfully or not?

Currently, the Keychain format is FMT_NOT_EXACT which means that we
can't be 100% sure that the recovered password was the actual
password. Hence, john continues to run after the initial guess.
