Sorry, but you have all that I know. My guess is "logins" or "icloud". I would select 'passwords' from the bottom list and 'logins' from the top list, the delete 'logins'. Best I can do. You will lose all your passwords so you will start over with a new keychain. Read through the links I sent for more help or guidance.
