What is *.branch.io in Keychain? Why is Root Cirtificate Not Trusted?

What is *.branch.io and is it malicious or dangerous?

I have two instances and it is worrisome. Thank you in advance.

Repeatedly prompt to allow application to use keychain information So this question was asked years ago ... but there were no good answers and its still happening, to me at least. My problem is that it keeps prompting me to allow keychain access -- popping up a window that says "svn wants to use your confidential information stored in "...repository URL and name here..." in your keychain. The authenticity of "svn" cannot be verified. Do you want to allow access to this item?" I installed svn using brew. I have updated xcode installed. i have re-installed subversion. i have granted access to the key in question to all apps. So why is this dialog coming up? I've granted access to the key to all apps so why is it even authenticating the 'svn' app?

Keychain: "Observations" Hello, from time to time, I come across something in my keychain that makes me question its reason for being there. Today I came across: "Observations". The keychain shows it's "kind" as an application password, and that it is "system" in keychain. Under "Access Control" it shows as: "searchpartyd". Is this an apple related system password? I used to be able to find if something is apple related when looking under the access control. These days with malware getting more, and more tricky. It can be easy to click on something you did not intend to. Is there a way to look up standard keychain items controlled by Apple. I realize this could cause concern for a lot of people that might not understand there are such items. I would just like to be able to confirm that they could in fact be Apple rather than contacting support. Thanks for your help!

Password appeared in data leak Using the Big Sur 11.1. Reenabled Keychain on my computer, then kept seeing this message come up for the various websites after I started saving the passwords in Keychain. The first time, I immediately changed the password for the website. When this started showing up for the other websites (different websites with different passwords), then I said to myself - hold on. It seems that there is a high probability that Keychain is the problem, not that all of my passwords have been compromised. Apple needs to address this.
