iCloud asks for iMac password (NOT iCloud password)

I am concerned when iCloud asks for my iMac password everytime I change the computer password. I do not have my keychain on iCloud.

This is something new.

I am running Mojave 10.14.6. I have installed Catalina but removed it.

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.14

Keychain won't work in Catalina I can't get Keychain to work now that I have updated to Catalina. It keeps saying "To enable iCloud Keychain, review and upgrade your Apple ID security." What am I supposed to do with that? Then it asks for my iCloud password and my computer password multiple times. It just spins and says "Setting up", but never gets passed that. Help!
