App wants to make changes. I type in the user name and password and the box pops up again 30 seconds later. How can I fix this? It has been going on for a few weeks now.

Apple ID & Keychain Problems with fresh install of Mac OS Catalina I just reinstalled Catalina, now I cannot use Keychain, I'm stuck on Update Apple ID Settings. I've restarted my iMac, reinstalled Catalina, logged out of Apple with both iPhone and iMac in iMessages and Apple ID. iPhone logged back in with no problems, iMac logs into Apple ID but will not let me click on Keychain. I've been in Preferences for two days, filling in passwords, iPhone unlock code, iMac unlock passwords, no relief. Help

KEYCHAIN WEIRDNESS! What could be going on? I am trying to log into a site, I open Keychain, find the site, click on "Show Password", the window opens asking for my admin. password. I put that in, click OK, and the password window for the website stays EMPTY!!! I try it over and over, and the same thing happens! And for some reason, in the Keychain window asking for my password, there's an arrow on the right hand side of the window I put my password in. What's that all about? And why isn't this working?

Hi Oxenfree84,

If your Mac is asking you for your keychain password, if desired, see if you can either Always Allow or Deny as seen in If you’re asked for access to your keychain on Mac.

If it continues to ask for your password, follow If your Mac keeps asking for your keychain password.

Take care.
