I keep getting requests to open Local Items Keychain and I have no idea what the password is. Why is this different from login Keychain?

Have you tried changing your user password in System Preferences/Users & Groups? That should change the keychain password to be the same as your new user password.
If you need to update your keychain password on Mac - Apple Support
Do a backup before you do anything. That will allow you to restore if things go wrong. The suggested procedure should create a new local keychain that will be unlocked when Keychain Access is unlocked as part of the sign in procedure. You might want to write your passwords down.
That would be worth a try.
OK, got on my Mac notebook (instead of the iPad) and with AdBlocker in place, now I can see the whole article and have saved the directions. So I just trash a file and everything is good? I really am apprehensive about doing that because I've been told to do that before and have ended up with problems. Guess it is time to make sure I have every password written down somewhere? so when I'm asked I'll have something to type in - - or do you just say "forgot password" and do a new one?
Well that didn't work. Followed the instructions, sure enough after restart no questioning about local keychain, etc. Went to Safari and it wanted the password - rejected the old, so typed in the current one. Yes that work - EXCEPT it said there were no passwords!
Replaced what was newly created with the original folder (from the trash) and while I still have to type in the old password, at least the passwords for sites are there. So I'm back to my original problem of the local keychain wants the old login password and that is also what Safari uses. I have a feeling it is because I don't understand how this is all suppose to work - - I'm suppose to have iCloud Keychain and yet it is only the Notebook that has it them. They are not available on my iPhone or iPad unless I enter them on each device. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
That's what started this whole thing! I did change the password, but Safari keeps requiring old password and then the "local items" keychain started asking for the same old password. Maybe I should just go back to the old one?
Is it possible to get the contents for the article with beingbarraged by request to enter ‘drawing’ and provide other information?
That could trigger what you are seeing. Did you try what the article I posted suggested?
Couldn’t because I’m not going to click on something I know nothing about.
