Q: Can’t change iCloud keychain password

I recently changed my iCloud password and my iMac login password. (They were the same before, and I changed them so that they are still the same.)

 

Since then, my iMac periodically asks me for the password for my “Local Items” keychain, which appears to be the keychain that is listed as “iCloud” in Keychain Access. It seems that the password for this keychain did not change when I changed my login and iCloud passwords.

 

So, I would change the “iCloud” keychain password to be the same as my iCloud and login passwords ... except I can’t. In Keychain Access, when I select the iCloud account, the Edit menu and contextual menu entries for “Change Settings for Keychain ‘iCloud’” and “Change Password for Keychain ‘iCloud’” are disabled.

 

What do I do now?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), 2014 Retina 5K, Core i7
