Q: Accountsd wants to use the "Local Items" Keychain
Problem
Today, when I was looking through my keychain access (no idea why), I found that the Login and Local Items keychain was unlocked. So of course, I proceeded to locking it. Immediately after, a popup came up with this: "accountsd wants to use the Local Items/Login keychain". Then it asked for my password. This made me feel suspicious because I recently downloaded something off of the Internet and I am paranoid that it might be malware. I feel like the Login and Local Items keychains have been both unlocked for some time now because otherwise I would have experienced this problem sooner.
Here are some details about my mac:
-Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch
-OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4
-Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
-Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
-Storage: 121 GB
MacBook Pro with Retina display

Your login keychain should be unlocked when you are logged into the computer. If you have other users, their keychain will be locked. If you lock it, applications like Mail will be asking for your password overtime it checks for new items.
