what is imagent?

What is imagent and why is my computer sending me a message to the effect that 'imagent wants to use the login keychain"? It does not recognize my password so pops up constantly. My password though works with my login keychain.

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13

MrHoffman beat me, but..


IMAgent is a process that listens for FaceTime invitations. It will be active even if FaceTime isn't running. You don't have to block it, but if you don't use FaceTime you can open the application, open preferences, and turn off FaceTime. That should quit the IMAgent process.
