accountsd wants to use the "Local Items" keychain

Since updating to 10.12.1 my Mac is constantly asking for - accountsd wants to use the "Local Items" keychain - I put the correct password in, it goes away and then comes up again randomly through the day.

This issue wasn't there after the initial Sierra update, only after the most recent update.

I've read others with the same issue and the only answer I can find is to logout of iCloud and then log back in. I've done this. It seems to be occurring less often, but is still happening....

I am the only user.

Anyone have a solution for me please!!

Thanks

After updating my Os to 10.12.2 I started getting pop ups like this also. "Help" was of little help and I sent feedback. But I did use the link in the Help box to open my Keychain. There, I noticed that iCloud keychain was locked. So, I typed in my password THERE, instead of in the pop up dialogue box I'd never seen before. I felt that was safer. After that, I was able to click Cancel in the dialogue boxes (both of them) and they closed. (Previously when I clicked Cancel, they refused to close which made me think it was a virus.) Hopefully that will resolve the issue. At least the dialogue boxes closed and I'm getting my mail.
