Keychain Access

Guys and Girls,


Since I have upgraded to Catalina several of my applications ask fo access to my Keychain and require a password to allow them. Google Earth Pro is one that does. I don't know why GEP would need access to my Keychain but it asks every time I open it. When I "Deny" it opens to the application normally.


I don't know the password nor do I ever remember assigning one. How can I retrieve it and possibly change it? Or at least get rid of the dialog boxes that require it.


Thanks.


Regards, Phil
