Every time I wake my iMac from sleep or log back on, a window pops up asking me to "login" keychain. Why do I have to always login? This is annoying! Anyway to resolve this?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, look at System Preferences -> Security and see if "Require password [immediately] after sleep or screen saver begins." is checked. If it is, uncheck it and the requirement should go away.
If this is something other than just the standard login window, maybe post a screenshot?

Waking it from the screensaver brings you to a black screen and asks you to put the password in?
Go to Key Chain Settings
Click Edit
Click Change settings for keychain...
Is the box ticked to lock the keychain after sleep?

Nahh, this is a post-log in issue. See the screen shot above.
How?
Thanks for the link
Yes, it is ticked. Untick it?
Ok, yes, it is checked, should I uncheck it?
I verified and did a repair and when verifying, the following was highlighted in red:
Item imap.gmail.com has unspecified value for port attribute
In repairing this notice disappeared.
Yes, you should, assuming your don't want the messages. When your keychain locks, any application that wants to access it needs your password.
If you have it not lock when it goes to sleep, the keychain will remain unlocked at all times. Meaning, you won't get those messages.
Basically, those messages are indicative of a locked keychain. Tuck that away in your mind for the future.
