Mac login keychain issues

Body

Issue

  • I keep getting prompted to enter my keychain password, what is this?
  • How do I unlock my keychain?

Environment

You are using an Apple computer (iMac or MacBook Pro).

Resolution

The password for your account may not match the password that is used to unlock the keychain. This can often happen when your password is changed outside of the operating system itself. To correct this issue, you can either create a new login keychain or reset the password of the existing keychain.
