Many people will receive a message that accounts want to use login keychain when they open some websites or software. And someone says this pop-up window is very annoying. Do you know why you receive this message on your Mac? No worries, this post will tell you the reason. Moreover, this post will give you five ways to avoid receiving that accounts want to use the login keychain again.
When the first time you enter accounts and passwords into the keychain, it will save those data. And the next time when you input the account, the keychain will automatically enter your password.
As we all know, if you log into the same Apple ID on your Mac and iOS device, the keychain will sync all accounts and password data. But if your keychain on your Mac is out of sync or you did not update the new password, there will be a message saying that accounts want to use the login keychain.
It is the easiest way to solve this problem. You can disable the keychain on your iCloud. And then, whether you update the password or not, you will not receive the message that accounts want to use the login keychain.
You can also reset the Keychain on your Mac. And you can use the keychain again without the window to say that accounts want to use the login keychain. When you open the keychain, click the Preferences button from the Keychain Access. And then click the Reset My Default Keychains button to reset the local keychain.
If you think it is trouble to update your keychain and do not want to sync it, you can create a new one on your Mac. It would be best if you went to Finder and opened the Go to folder, then input ~/Library/Keychains. Then you will create a new folder to save your passwords.
If you turn off the auto-lock, there also will be no message that accounts want to use login keychain. You can click the Login button on the right panel when you launch the keychain. And then, you can click the Change Settings for Keychain "login" button to turn off the auto-lock. In this way, you will no longer receive any messages like accounts or accountsd want to use login keychain from the keychain.
