Every day, MacOS "forgets" my iCloud and google calendar passwords every day. I have to go into the Internet Accounts preferences pane, click each of the 3 accounts and fill in the prompt for my password. This started happening in the last 30-days. Prior to that, I don't recall having to enter my password more than once per month.
Is there something wrong with the password vault?

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Enter the part after the @sign in the search bar.
You may have duplicate or more entries in Keychain Access.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but likely old passwords interfering.
There''ll be at least 2 entries, maybe more.
The trouble is that Mac Mail almost always chooses the old Passwords if you don't change or get rid of the old ones.

No. The checkmarks stay checked but I get a MacOS notification that I need to login. It then brings me to the OAUTH login prompt for each google account and to the MacOS password prompt for iCloud. I get the prompt to login when I click on each account name on the left hand side of the pref pane.
So, the checkmarks in the Pref Pane uncheck themselves?
As a test leave that Pref Pane open with the checks & don't shut down the Mac... do the checkmarks last?
Hmmm, have you changed passwords lately?
iCloud I changed 1-2 months ago. 2 gmail accounts well before that.
