imagents wants to use the keychain login
After startup I get to enter the password to approve that imagents use the keychain login all the time.
How can I get rid of this without uninstalling Facetime?

Thought it had something to do with Facetime, but found out that it is not specific Facetime,and it can be from other programms as well.
Have no idea which imagents they are; spotlight search does not show anything when searching for imagent, and it does only mention what I have written: Imagent needs to access your keychain, and asks me for my password.
"...Imagent needs to access your keychain, and asks me for my password." It's part of the FaceTime beta app. Not sure there's a lot you can do about it unless you want to remove FaceTime beta… So remove it and get the app from the App Store.
Thanks Sig, in the end decided to remove Facetime, but now it says that the Mail app is asking the keychain login password after starting up.
Has anyone been able to solve this issue without having to uninstall Facetime? This issue message first started popping up for me when I restored my Mac from a Time Machine backup... now every time I boot my computer and log in, this message appears... it stopped when I uninstalled Facetime, but came back when I reinstalled it. I'd prefer to be able to continue to use Facetime, but if I can't find a solution, I'll have no choice but to use another video chat program...
I actually figured out what the issue was... I recently changed my login keychain's password so that it was different from my user login password. I guess that caused keychain access to do some wacky things, cuz once I changed the password back, all the "imagent wants to use keychain login" prompts stopped appearing. I hope that helps everyone else!
Keychain has a permissions list that can sometimes get twisted up. Click the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid" and see if that helps resolve any of your issues.
