Like every two minutes, a window pops up on my mac saying - "Please enter your keychain password." What is this! And my p/w to log into the mac doesn't work for it, so it's driving me nuts

thanks

It should be telling which application is asking for the keychain password

Does it say which application wants your password???

If it doesn't, this could be a tojan wanting to install.... reject it if it's unsigned.

I had this same problem. I turned off my computer and turned it back on and it went away.

Ya its safari thats asking for it. Thing is, it wont go away when i restart and the password i enter is wrong. The only thing i can think of it just restoring the whole computer, which I was intending to do anyways, unless someone knows how to get this damm thing to stop asking me lol!?

ok .. so I know this is an old post .. but I am having the same problem can't get rid of it

have followed Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password

and deleted the login keychain.. and rebooted but still every time I go in to Safari.. and
hit one of my sites that want authentication even if I am already logged in it pops up..
and none of my passwords work to either unlock it or make it go away ...

I really don't like any OS or browser saving my password's any how... but just annoying
especially when I'm trying to update web pages.
Help plz
