This topic was threatening another thread, so I"ve moved it.
...although having to enter my password three times after every restart has more than compensated.

My question to you is about the three passwords. What three passwords? – I am getting along just fine with only one!
After every start and restart I've got to deal with
these three guys .
I'm pretty sure it began with Sierra, and I've accepted it as a new consequence of my login and keychain passwords differing. Has that been a bad assumption?
Easy fix. Somewhere along the line your account password has been changed but not the password for your keychains.
- Launch Keychain Access
- Select one of the keychains
- on the Keychain Menu Bar select Edit > Change password for keychain "XXXXX" ...
- For curent password enter the password you have been using to unlock that keychain
- For the new keychain enter the exact password you are using for your account
- Repeat these steps for each of the three keychains involved
Nope, that's not the problem; my login and keychain passwords have been different - and unchanged - since time immemorial.
What's happened is that through El Cap, after every start/restart I was prompted to enter my keychain password once, but since Sierra, I'm prompted to enter it three times.
The above screenshot shows the two persistent requests I get - from accountsd and Safari - and an additional one from identityservicesd, and
this one shows two additional non-persistent requests.
I've reinstalled Keychain Access with Pacifist, but with no joy.
Is anybody else experiencing the same thing?
Has anybody got any ideas about what's going on?
Thanks.
