Accountsd wants access to keychain

I have been getting this and similar pop ups for several days. I have cleared my history numerous times and changed both the password to login to my Mac and the one for iCloud.


Nothing is working.


Some solutions reference a ‘First Aid’ option under ‘Preferences’ on Keychain, but I do not have that option.


Also, I make a habit of keeping the keychain locked but when I login to my computer, it is unlocked.


How can I solve this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

If keychain is prompting to enter password multiple times , & pop - up is not going away when safari is opened .

Click on Go > Go to folder & type ~/Library then find a folder > keychains > remove first folder ( alfa numeric folder ) to trash . Restart & empty the trash , open system preferences go to internet accounts & once again configure web mail account , I cloud mail account by entering their passwords .This is applicable in Mac OS X El - Capitan and previous versions .

Open air port utility via spotlight > click on edit and enter your base station password .
