Xcode wants to access "Xcode-AlternateDSID" in keychain

Question

When I start Xcode, I now get the message 'Xcode wants to access "Xcode-AlternateDSID" in keychain'.

What does that mean? Should I accept?

Answer 1

So it's asking for your keychain login password — which may be the same as your computer login, or not. I ended up changing my keychain login password, but it accepted my computer login as valid. Here's some info on keychain login password, here's some info on how to reset that.
