Totally redoing my keychains is not what I want to do…
I use both 1Password…… and several keychains [ login, System, X509Anchors, unknown (with no entries), PrivateEncryptedDatak, PrivateEncryptedDatak, System Roots ]
The problem arose only after doing the App Store Lion to Mountain Lion up grade.
The window ( see Michael Griffiths pict ) requesting me to enter my "login" password is NOT specific enough to let me know what the OS it trying to handshake with (other than. If I could discern what the OS it trying to handshake with I could set things up do it automatically ( or not).
Come on you secretly contributing Apple Corp. guys chime in… this constantly have to clear this window is interfering with my SANITY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Ackkkk
