And I'm not sure if this should be here or in the Safari and Mail sites. We still use my older Mac Mini and an odd thing is happening and I can't figure out how to stop it. When you go into Safari it has started asking for a password. I've looked at all the settings and can't figure it out. Also my newer Mini has started asking for a password to get emails in Mail. Not all the time though. Any suggestions would be helpful. :-)
Mac mini, iOS 8.1, Apple Super Drive,
Can you post a screen shot of the message you are seeing?
Otherwise I can't even guess what password is is asking for.
I don't know how to do a screen shot. But the Mail message is "Mail can't connect to the account "citlink.net". "Enter the Password for XXXX@citlink.net". I don't understand why it keeps asking me to do this. It will be fine for a day or two and then it starts asking again. The other older mini requires a password to log on and when you click on Safari. The message is "Safari wants to use the login keychain". "Please enter the keychain password". I have no idea how to make the changes to stop all the password requests.
For the keychain problem:

TY email PW problem sounds like a problem with your email provider. Contact them
Thank you.
I will check this out. I have to say since I upgraded to Yosemite is when the mail problem started.
I just discovered I couldn't send emails out on my Mail citlink.net account. I checked preferences and accounts and somehow my account was switched to ICloud and the SMTP was changed. Strange seeing I am the only person who uses this computer.
I went to Keychain and used the repair option and it couldn't fix all the passwords. What do I do next?
Remove the iCloud key chain and reset it up
