Why does my Mac keep asking for keychain?

Your keychain may be locked automatically if your computer has been inactive for a period of time or your user password and keychain password are out of sync.

What does it mean when Mac asks for keychain password?

A keychain password is the master password for your Mac's "Keychain Access" app, which stores your login information for websites and accounts across the internet. When you attempt to log into one of these websites, your Mac might ask you for the keychain password, in order to retrieve your login information.

  1. Open Keychain Access.
  2. In the top-left corner, unlock the keychain (if it is locked).
  3. Choose the System keychain from the top-left corner.
  4. Find your distribution certificate and click the disclosure triangle.
  5. Double-click ‘Private key’ under your distribution certificate.
  6. In the popup, go to the Access Control tab.
  7. Select ‘Allow all applications to access this item’.
  8. Save the changes.
  9. Close all windows.
  10. Run the application.

The problem is with the Developer Certificate on Keychain which is under "System", on the left hand panel, which is always locked and requiring my password to unlock!

So just move the Developer Certificate to "login", which is always unlocked. Now your problem gets solved.
