accountsd wants to use your confidential information stored in "AppleIDClientIdentifier" in your keychain



What is this popup?

What does it do?

Where did it come from?

What should I do with it?


Best,

This popup has to do with your iCloud Keychain, which holds all the passwords you've stored there. It allows you to use Touch ID to log in to various services, rather than type out your password. From time to time, it may ask for the login password to re-authenticate Keychain. So don't worry, it's safe!


If it appears frequently, see here - If your Mac keeps asking for your keychain password - Apple Support


Hope this helps!
