Local keychain message boxes

[comovartia]

I went away for a few days so I shut my Mini off in case of power surges. I just restarted it and am getting on the screen a number of message boxes asking for keychain password. I do not use keychain and have never set it up with a password. Even though there is a cancel on each box they just keep coming up whenI hit cancel. The message boxes are:
Cloudd wants to use the "Local Items" keychain
Networkserviceproxy wants to us the "login" keychain
Safari wants to use the "Local Items" keychain
cdpd wantd to use the "Local Items" keychain
Protectedcloudkeysyncing wants to use the "Local items" keychain.

I have never seen these before and can not get them to go away. They are smack in the middle of the screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You've probably got some apps or software running that also wants to sync to any data you might have in iCloud or whatever it is that Apple now wants.

I have such an app that I had to disable some of its functions as it was so annoying, and the cause seems to be that Apple is now, as of June 15th, insisting that a password needs to be setup or setup two-step-authorization.

I'm sorry I don't have all the details handy.
For example from one app I get:
Your iCloud password for [email protected] is incorrect.

If your Apple ID is using two-step verification you will need to create an app-specific password.

and

"Fantastical, iCloud, and Two-Factor Authentication

Apple requires an app-specific password for your iCloud account in order to use Fantastical. You can generate an app-specific password after you enable two-factor authentication on your iCloud account."

Have fun sorting it out and you can thank Apple!!! Yet some more and other PITA security protection it seems.
