Mac os High Sierra cannot save password

I just upgraded to High Sierra 10.13 recently and encounter serious password problem, every time I on the Mac from sleep mode or reopen the app, it prompts up a sign-up/sign in screen, my app login credentials are missing, it happens to Evernote, Coda, Transmits and some other apps.


For app like Coda, Transmits, all saved FTP password are blank, it just cleans up each time I reopen the app, you can't imagine how troublesome have to search for each FTP password and enter one by one, this never happen before I upgraded to latest OS.


icloud also have the problem to access, it asks the password each time I tried to access icloud from system Preference, and I am sure I key in the right password but the unknown error occurred.


I already reformat and reinstall the mac but some problem occurs.

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

I'm experiencing a very similar problem. I upgraded and had to re-enter my icloud password into preferences. Apparently the upgrade software is too stupid to remember it.


But then to make matters worse, EVERY time I reboot (most of the time it's because High Sierra has crashed my system) I have to re-enter the icloud password. It will NOT save it permanently. This is irritating as **** because I changed it to some crazy *** secure string that I can never remember because supposedly Apple dev accounts got hacked some time ago.


Any chance Apple might actually fix this problem? (not to mention the constant lock-ups)?
