Keychain Access in El Capitan
If you are frequently being prompted to re-enter your keychain password, you will find that the fix described for pre-El Capitan systems has changed. Please follow this procedure instead:
Copy this text to your clipboard: com.apple.scopedbookmarksagent.xpc. Open Keychain Access that is located in your Utilities folder. In the search field of Keychain Access’ window paste the above text.
A window will appear with a login password item selected. Click on the Delete key. Click on the Delete button in the panel to confirm your deletion.
Quit Keychain Access and see if the prompts stop.
