I have a problem with my new iMac that I've never encountered before:

Every time I restart, macOS seems to think it's the first time starting a new machine. On restart:

• I get prompted to sign up for iCloud and enter my password

• I get the "Setting up your Mac" notification before the desktop appears

• 1password gets unauthorized / flux resets settings

• Gmail unauthorizes chat in the browser

• Items reappear in the dock that I've deleted

This is a 2017 iMac / Sierra 10.12.5 -- I used migration assistant to move the user and apps from an older iMac, if that gives any hint.

Any ideas how to sort this out?
