Hello Harris
This article can give you more clarity: If your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password - Apple Support
The following articles can also help you regarding Apple Keychain
What is Keychain Access on Mac? - Apple Support
Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
It also can be an issue either with the Keychain App. Try repairing it. To do so just:
- Locate the Keychain Access application, under /Applications/Utilities.
- Choose Keychain Access -> Keychain First Aid.
- Enter your User name and Password.
- Select Verify and click Start.
- If any problems were found, select Repair and click Start again.
It could be, too, that you've changed your account password without using the Accounts Preferences pane. If that is the case, for your default keychain to be unlocked automatically when logged in, you'll have to Synchronize your Keychain Access and login passwords. To do so just:
- Open Keychain Access.
- From the Edit menu, choose Change Password for Keychain "login."
- Type the former password of the account that you are currently logged in to, then click OK.
- If you entered the correct password, a new window appears; enter the original password again in the Current Password field.
- In the New Password field, type the password that matches your current account password.
- Re-enter the newer password in the Verify field, then click OK.
