fan runs constantly on MacBook air

I've run diagnostics and have no problem. All programs are closed but for Safari. A couple minutes after turning on the fan starts and then runs constantly.

Hey Mike, thanks for the follow up. I looked at the Activity Monitor and sure enough my password manager LassPass was eating up 96% of CPU. I force quit it and fan shut down. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
