How to find Keychain password for app access on macOS

Trying to give an app access for my one of my keychains. but I don't know what my keychain password login is. Anyone know how 2 find it? I'll put in a screenshot, (for privacy reasons I won't show the keychain I want to allow or the app, unless it is needed)

macOS details etc:

Macbook air M2 2022 (16GB)

macOS Tahoe 26.1 (was previously on beta but turned it off)

MacBook Air, macOS 26.1

This is your Mac user account password, the one you use when you restart/log on to your Mac.

That is your login password, if the usual sync has been maintained.

If the sync has been lost, or if a different password ser, it can be a previous password, or any password selected.

My preference is to wipe any Mac that has been running a beta, and start with a new install and no restore.
