For about 1-2 months I've been having this problem where every morning I need to re-enter all my google passwords into Internet Accounts in system preferences. Often, but not always, I also need to sign in again to iCloud. Rarely, I've received a notification that accountsd (daemon) has crashed.

I have some suspicion that: 1) this is happening nightly around the same time (and I'm noticing it in the morning) and 2) there may be some relation to restoring a Time Machine backup of my boot volume after applying a problematic security update (dev preview security update 2020-03).

I have rebooted, PMC reset, etc. I deleted all gmail/google passwords from the login keychain and re-entered. None of that any effect. Just now I turned off Keychain sync in iCloud and then re-enabled, but too early to know whether that had any effect. I'm on Mojave 10.14.6.

Anyone else seeing this sort of thing? What to do?

When keychain syncing was a new thing I tried it and had similar, wonky problems. Not really help but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
So what did you do? Just turn off the keychain sync? Cuz flipping it on & off didn't fix it (after 2 more days of this nonsense).
