While exporting Code signing identity from Xcode 5, Preferences->Accounts I get the error upon saving "Could not export identity from the keychain".

What can it be?

Edit:

The login.keychain is unlocked. The account of the profile I want to export is connected and also present in login.keychain.

Console.app output:

31/05/14 15:23:06,879 Xcode[489]: Error, Could not export identity from the keychain: The user name or passphrase you entered is not correct.

The solution is to lock the login keychain, so you can actually be prompted for the keychain password and then export it. If it's unlocked I just keep getting the error despite the password shall be correct - the keychain is unlocked, right?

So lock and export.
