re-starting and passwords MBP 16" on 10.15.5

hi, i am using a brand new refurb, migrated data yesterday from a TM backup, moving from a late 2011 MBP (on high sierra), so this is a big jump for me. when i restart, i get inundated with password requests, it feels 10 or more things needing my password. i know i had to type it in a few times on the 2011 mac, but this is crazy.

is there a way to enter a password one time, and be done with it?

thanks for any advice on this.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

As your keychain (which is not migrated) gets repopulated, the requests should subside.

man, i still have to enter a password, i think 8-10 times on reboot.most of it is system stuff, but some is adobe stuff.

the current os is cool and the way it works w/ iOS and iPad os is cool, but i miss the simplicity of os6 where i started, then 7 and 8 and 9 were better and looked cooler. ****, even earlier versions of 10 seemed easier.
