I want to change my keychain login in MacOS High Sierra [iMac -27-inch, Late 2013-10.13.6 (17G65)-3.2 GHz Intel Core i5-8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3] so I am not asked for my user password every time I look for a password. The choice "Change password for keychain login" is grayed out whether I have any of the items on the left of Keychain Access under 'Keychain' or 'Category' selected. Thanks for any help you can give.
OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

- From the Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
- Click General, then click Reset My Default Keychain.
- Authenticate with your account login password.

When you open keychain access through spotlight , click on login in the keychain access side bar .
Take cursor on top menu bar > edit > change password for keychain login is greyed by default .
In users and groups if you open the lock by authenticating the password for admin , click on login options , you have selected display login window as name and password and keep automatic login as off , rest of the boxes are unchecked ( its optional ) so when you restart the Mac every time the admin name and password will be shown , there is no need of entering keychain access preferences and clicking on reset my default keychain , unless your login keychain and iCloud Keychain get corrupted .
