Every morning when I get up and turn on my iMac I get 5-10 questions wanting me to approve "key chain"

This has happened the past 2-3 mornings and I seem to be answering the questions over and over. What is the reason?

Just want to be 100% certain. Are you talking about "key change" or "key chain"?

And for some reason "keychain" has a different password than iTunes. icloud, etc.

Didn't do it this morning, maybe the iMac got tired of asking. LOL

That typically means that your user account has some sort of discrepancy between what your keychain password is, and what it *thinks* it is. It's a sign of some sort of account issue. In the Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access app you can do Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid to try to fix that.
