Q: Local item keychain shows up on start up

Hi all, for a couple of days every time I start my book I see these (Dropbox links) https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0e8nhh0k8x29tt/Screenshot%202015-05-18%2000.50.04.png ?dl=0  https://www.dropbox.com/s/sn9x7q36it4cjat/Screenshot%202015-05-18%2000.49.53.png ?dl=0 

and a bunch more. Why is that and what causes the issue ? I never saw them ever before. Thx

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

    Step 1

    Follow the directions in this support article.

    Step 2

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Select the iCloud keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.

    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password.

    Select

              Keychain Access Keychain First Aid

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.

    Step 3

    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

    Step 4

    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:

    ☞ Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".

    ☞ Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".

    You can then close the folder. 

    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose

               Delete References

    when prompted, not Delete References & Files.

    Select

              File Add Keychain...

    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

    Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

    I got an issue here - Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. When I re-check the box, it give the option of not now and setting a wake up passcode. I did not now, I was asked for my passcode, and then my key chain code and then my mobile number, which is not active anymore.

    Ok, so I stall on step 4 - I only have "login.keychain", and not "login_renamed_1.keychain". Should I do Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain". or ?

    Do you still have the problem after taking the first three steps?

    What happened when you took Step 1? Did you find a folder as described in the support article?

    Hello, I fixed the issue. The only thing left hanging is that in my System Preferences->iCloud->Keychain is unchecked - after I check it, I have to use my Password (Mac one) and then it requires a 4 digit code, after it requires a phone number, that is no longer active => I can't activate it. How could I do so, and what for is this option ? Thank you in advance.

    You would have to contact Apple to resolve that problem.
