Q: why do I have to re-type the password for each item, like contacts, messages etc. every time I restart the computer?

Every time I start up the computer I get a pop up to type in my keychain password for each item. One for contacts and again for messages etc. Why do I have to do this every time at startup?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
