We can clean our KeyChain "Local Items" using Terminal to solve this issue.
Steps:
Open terminal
$ cd ~/Library/Keychains
$ ls
When you 'ls' here you will see a folder that contains a bunch of random number liks so:
94ED610F-DD96-4ECF-A2BC-7D2F8651A464 (this number is unique on each system)
$ rm -rf 94ED610F-DD96-4ECF-A2BC-7D2F8651A464
$ sudo Reboot (it may need you input your computer log in password)
<when you log back in everything should be back to normal>
