Can you verify you are leaving the login keychain in the unlocked position when you quit Keychain Access.app

Lame that Apple Support will not answer this. I had to do a cold shut down on my computer to get rid of this issue. Who knows what the issue is???

Also having the same issue. Multiple Activities - one drive, adobe, and a few other random activities, but assitantd most consistent, looking for the PW each time I wake my MBP. Been watching discussions but have not seen the resolution. By the looks of this thread there are likely many others experiencing the same issue.

Yes, lock is in the unlock position.

Thanks for any future support you can give.

keychain passwords keep showing up on screen. I want to get rid of this because I want to do my school works.

Would someone from Apple confirm for us that "Assistantd" is legitimate asking for legitimate reasons?

I ask because I have never seen this behavior before, so "it must be new behavior?"

I am also having this issue and my Macbook is useless right now. Apple Support, where are you?!?!

I'm having the same issue, and can verify for myself that the login keychain is in the unlocked position.
