Something called "homed" wants to use my confidential information stored in "com.apple.facetime:registrationV1" in my keychain. This is new since my Mojave update. It is very annoying and will not go away. Any ideas on what to do?
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS Mojave (10.14)
It appears to be the Apple HomeKit service. I found this by double-clicking the "homed" process in Activity Monitor and looking at the Open Files and Ports tab. There I saw this path: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/HomeKitDaemon.framework/Support/homed"
EDIT: It accepted my user password.

Found the same thing. Going to have to give that a try and see what happens.

Thank you! This worked for me. The prompt is gone for the first time since I upgraded to Mojave.
Yes, it's obviously the Apple Homekit service. But how do you make it go away? It comes up every time I start my Mac, even when I click Always Allow. Very annoying.

I think whether resetting the login keychain or creating a new login keychain is effective for problem solving.
See, below.
If your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password - Apple Support
Perfect, thanks. I should have thought about Activity Monitor. TC
Same issue... Hope someone finds a fix...
I'm also having the same issue. I've tried everything suggested here and nothing seems to help. I still get the prompt but can't figure out how to make it go away.
thank you
Thanks. This seems to fix the recurring problem. What a relief!
Apple should do better and not stick us with problems like this.
thanks.
It seems to stop it!
I had to force quit the homed process before keychain would let me delete the registrationV1 item, but so far it seems to have worked for me too!
OMG! I have spent hours trying to solve this and nothing worked - until I found your post and tried it. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
