Mac Pro keeps asking for keychain info

Mac Pro keeps asking for keychain info when I have not been asked before. It seems mostly to be related to Mail, but I am getting requests for other Apps also. It won't take no for an answer.

This is a new phenomenon.

If your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password

The password of your macOS user account might not match the password of your login keychain. Either create a new login keychain or update it with your new password.


After you or your Mac administrator resets the password of your macOS user account, your Mac might ask you to update your keychain password or enter the password of your login keychain. It might also tell you that the system was unable to unlock your login keychain. That's because your login keychain is still using your old password.
