What does this mean: 'accountsd wants to use the "login" keychain'.

Under the above heading in the same box this is stated: Please enter the keychain password.


This is annoying, but once I have entered my passsword, the same box appears immediately; and I have to enter my password again.


If I have to live with it once, how can I at least prevent it asking again?


Of course, I can't do anything on my machine until I enter the password, twice.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
