Q: secd Process Memory Leak

Finding the secd process using 13GB of RAM was a bit of a shock. Watching its RAM consumption continue to increase, indicates a memory leak. Is this something anyone else has noticed? And any possible solutions?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), 16 GB RAM

    This actually just happened to me on Mac OS Sierra, and this is the top Google hit so I thought I'd post my fix:

     

    My iCloud keychain was turned off for all of my devices (I use 1Password) and turning it on in my mac iCloud settings made secd go from 95% of CPU usage to 0.0%.

     

    So yeah, if you're on Sierra, keychain is off, and you're looking at this thread, just turn it on.
