[QUOTE="harvdog47, post: 1946557, member: 349371"] Hello, I have exhausted all my help options: so here I am. I use 3 Apple devices on a regular basis; an M1 iMac, an M1 MacBook Pro, and an iPhone 15. They are all synced with iCloud. My problem is my iMac is constantly asking for Keychain login passwords. It doesn't seem to matter which App it is. It occurs with Lightroom Classic, Safari and others that are more obscure like iCloudHelper???? If I cancel out 2 or 3 times I am able to use the affected apps; but it is still aggravating. When the new Passwords App came out I dropped my subscription to 1Password and eventually removed it from all of my devices.I have been on the phone with 3 separate Apple specialist who all directed me to Apple Support or Keychain Access and resetting something in the Edit menu (which I've done) to no change. There is a backstory to this problem that may or may not be related. Early in October my iMac on startup went to a blackish screen with a small circle and exclamation point in the center. The Genius Bar in my neighborhood was able to clear it up in a few hours but not without a total erasing of my HD. It was and is backed up with Time Machine. Once home I migrated my backpack to the iMac. Everything seemed good . . . . except for my Keychain. BYW: Keychain and Passwords work fine on the laptop and iPhone. Wondering if a Keychain transplant into the iMac would help? Sounds drastic. Harvey B [/QUOTE]
