The PW for login was changed correctly, but local items did not inherit the new PW. So logging into my user account correctly unlocked the login keychain, but local items remained locked. Eight agents and daemons asked for the PW to local items each time a logged in. Keychain Access cannot alter local items' password or other settings to remedy. The 'Local Items Keychain' is a local repository of passwords and other form data eligible to be synced via iCloud to your other devices running iOS 7 or newer. Where it breaks down is when the login/admin password is changed, and the user does not remember the old password (which is the case in 99.9999% of all password changes.).

I'm getting a pop-up window on MacOS 10.13.6 (.High Sierra') that 'Node wants to use the local items keychain' and I can't get it to go away. Since this is an older iMac, I bit the bullet and did. On a Mac running 10.9, open Keychain Access. Below the login keychain you should see the “Local Items” Keychain. If you click the “Local Items” keychain you may see it populated with various password items, if using iCloud Keychain this will also include passwords saved on other devices connected to your iCloud account.

If you don't see your iCloud Keychain items

There are several possible reasons for why you can't find your iCloud Keychain information. If none of these apply, Contact Apple Support.

Did you restore from an iCloud backup and then notice missing iCloud Keychain items?

iCloud Keychain items aren't part of iCloud Backup because they already live in the cloud. To restore your iCloud Keychain items, turn on iCloud Keychain.

Did you turn off iCloud Keychain on all your devices?

If so, your iCloud Keychain is removed from the cloud. If you chose to delete the keychain items from your devices when you turned off iCloud Keychain, your iCloud Keychain is also removed from those devices. You need to set up iCloud Keychain and add items again.

If you turn off iCloud Keychain on all your devices and choose to delete your iCloud Keychain locally on all your devices, Apple can't recover your iCloud Keychain.

On your Mac, did you use Keychain Access to reset your iCloud Keychain?

If so, macOS deleted your iCloud Keychain items. To reset your Mac Keychain again, temporarily disable iCloud Keychain in iCloud Preferences and then set up iCloud Keychain.

If iCloud Keychain is on, but Safari won't save or autofill account or credit card information

If Safari doesn't autofill your account names, passwords, or credit cards, or doesn't ask to save them to begin with, check the AutoFill and Private Browsing settings on your device.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

For account names and passwords in iOS 14, go to Settings > Passwords > AutoFill Passwords, and check that Autofill Passwords is turned on. In iOS 13 or earlier, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts.
For credit card information,* go to Settings > Safari > Autofill, and check that Credit Cards is turned on.
Open Safari. If the navigation bar in Safari is black or dark instead of white or light gray, turn off Private Browsing. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on.

Still need help to autofill credit card information? In Safari, tap the credit card field, then tap the 'AutoFill Credit Card' option above the keyboard.

On your Mac

Choose Safari > Preferences, then click AutoFill.
For account names and passwords, check that you selected 'User names and passwords.' For credit card information,* check that you selected 'Credit cards.'
See if you turned on Private Browsing. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on.

Still need help to autofill credit card information? In Safari, click a credit card field to see the message that asks you to choose which credit card to use from your iCloud Keychain.

* Always enter your card's security code manually. iCloud Keychain doesn't store credit card security codes.

If Safari won't save the password for one of the websites that you're using

Some websites request that passwords not be saved. Safari won't save or autofill account names and passwords on those sites.

If you didn't receive the verification code through SMS

If you use two-factor authentication, the steps below don't apply because you won't have a separate SMS verification number for iCloud Keychain. Check if you use two-factor authentication, then check that the phone number associated with your account is correct.

Check if you use two-factor authentication

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > [your name], then tap Password & Security.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences. In macOS Catalina or later, click Apple ID, then click Password & Security in the sidebar. In macOS Mojave or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.

Check or update your phone number

If two-factor authentication is off, use these steps to check that your phone number is correct or update your phone number.

Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
Make sure the correct phone number is associated with your account. Here's how:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced.
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. Click iCloud in the sidebar, then select Keychain. If you're using macOS Mojave or earlier, click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain.
Make sure that the phone number under Verification number is correct.

If you can't change the SMS verification phone number for iCloud Keychain

If you have a device with iCloud Keychain already turned on, try these steps first to change your iCloud Security Code:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keyc
