Suddenly, my keychain (local) access is not work - it won't accept my keychain password to show other passwords. Fix? All in all El Capitan hasn't been very good. My other MacBook Pro's keyboard sound buttons don't function at all.
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), OS X El Capitan 10.11
I just fixed this (at least at first blush) by going to Safari -> Preferences -> Passwords, and then there is a little checkbox in the top-left corner for "Auto-fill user names & passwords." I unchecked-and-rechecked the box. That has at least got me into the first website I was locked out of with the never-ending rainbow spiral...
I had the same issue and it ended up being with MagicPrefs.
The solution was to go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy and adding MagicPrefs to the Accessibility section.

El Capitan has been working flawlessly on my early 2011 MBP, so I recently installed it on my wife's late 2011 MBA, with disastrous results. I suspect my mistake may have been changing her user login password to something different from her apple (and iCloud) password, plus enabling Keychain in iCloud, which I had not done on my MBP.
The following steps seem to have stopped the login pop-ups.
Log out of iCloud account.
Go(+option)>Library>Keychains
Move Keychains folder to trash. This will delete all of your saved passwords, btw.
Restart. Relogin.
Do not login to iCloud account. (Fortunately, we sync mail, contacts and calendars via Google and not iCloud, so syncing was not a problem for us.)
Go tell Apple to fix their ****.
Followed the advise of chris21403. After restarting and confirming that the error no longer exists, I logged back into the iCloud account. Everything works fine now, and I no longer am asked to provide my keychain password, upon login, for various applications that need to use it.
I have a brand new MacBook Air, 10.11 that developed the constant login keychain query problem.
I tried deleting the login keychain and then recreating it, but it is asking me for a "Local Items" keychain password, which I have no idea about.
At any rate, it is coming up relentlessly saying there is a problem connecting to iCloud...because it needs a keychain password.
And if I try to reset to defaults,...I need a keychain password. The menu items to change keychain passwords are all grayed out.
Thoughts? Help? Apple Store?
If its brand new and under warrantee then take it to the Apple store. Bring all of your passwords with you.
Where's Apple? All these people having same problems with El Capitan (including me). Had to restore from backup after installing El Capitan because of all the password issues. Called support. They COULDN'T HELP ME! Want to use the latest OS. WHERE'S APPLE?
Hi,
Seems i found solution.
Go System Preferences->Accounts->Change Password-> Set Empty password field.
Restart Keyshain and make your changes.
Go System Preferences->Accounts->Change Password-> Set Old password.
Or use best solution
Move file from home/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Restart Keyshain app
Create new "login" keyshain.
Move old items from old "login"
Hi,
I had the same when I updated to El Capitan, can't click "Allow" or "Allow All" buttons on the keychain permission popup. I solved the issue by uninstalling VNC server.
Hope this will help.

Hi,
Indeed the cause of the issue seems to be VNC remote access, security actions have to be done on the physical machine !
About the security content of OS X El Capitan 10.11.1, Security Update 2015-004 Yosemite, and Security Update 2015-007 M… (search CVE-2015-5943)
For a large enterprise which has data centers, this issue is major because it is no more possible to manage Mac OS servers through a remote access...
I think a ticket should be open to Apple support.
Hope this will help.

Hi,
In my case it had to do with my Wacom Intuos tablet.
I have to disconnect it and use a mouse in order to be able to enter Keychain Access.
Hope that helps someone.
My issue was also being caused by MagicPrefs, though I had to quit the app rather than just disabling it.
Uninstalling Hazel seemed to fix the issue for me and then resetting my keychain.
