Q: some of your data stored in iCloud is protected by the password

After I upgraded to mac sierra, I got this message during the first boot:

"Some of your data stored in iCloud is protected by the password for your MacBook Air"...

What does that mean?

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

It's probably related to your Apple ID as that's the only thing associated with iCloud. I wouldn't worry about the message.

Have you tried entering your user password?

Oh sorry for confusion but I have no problem passing this screen.

BUt i don't understand why I get such a message in the first place.

The message seems to suggest that I set some sort of iCloud data password in one of my macs... I don't even know how I could have done this.
