Chosen Solution
I have a MBA running Sierra. This is a teachers laptop and I am signed in under her account. Frequently, the “Accountsd Wants to Use the Login Keychain” message will appear and after I enter the password to the account it will disappear. It doesn’t always appear but something prompts it to appear. Obviously there is no Keychain First Aid anymore so I can’t use it. I don’t really want to mess around too much with the laptop because it is not mine and I don’t want to lose anything saved. I have already looked at the support document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201609) and I don’t know if changing the password for “login” will resolve the issue. However now I am getting “com.apple.icloudHelper wants to use “login” keychain” message. I don’t know if changing the password for “login” as described in the document will resolve ANY keychain message where it wants the password. Going forward, I need to resolve this issue so it doesn’t keep asking and prompting for a password. Then I can return the laptop to the teacher and the Keychain issue will be resolved. However, I am cautious about doing anything with Keychain because it is not my passwords and related information.
I would be careful here! I would contact the teacher to see what she wants to do. As an example you should make a fresh backup before altering anything. The teacher needs to have the system as they will need to confirm the password change Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
jkbmjp, apologies for chiming in with a question about something else on your new thread, but I would really like to find out what you did for a solution to this situation:
What is a good SSD adapter? SSD adapter for MBA. I’m in need for the same model (mid-2013). I’m a bit new here so I don’t see a way I may contact you directly and don’t know if you get notified when I respond on an old post or if I have to hope that you visit it. Thanks for understanding.
