Hello rob board,

Thanks for getting back to us. Sounds like it may be an issue with the login keychain on the Mac that's been updated to 10.13.2.

You can try to create a new login keychain or update it with your new password (if the password you use to log into your Mac has changed). This article will guide you through those steps:

Hello rob board,

I see that you're getting a pop up message when trying to use Siri. I can understand your concern and I'd be happy to help.

Have you used the Keychain in the past? Or is this the first time that you set it up after updating the software? Also, does this only happen when accessing Siri? Reply back with the answers to these questions and I will look into this further with you.
