Cannot open any files in TT 2021. I get error message asking keychain password, but doesn't work. I can open from Finder window.

Here's the error message:
 
TurboTax 2021  wants to use your confidential information stored in "Intuit ID
(prdatnresHRieeTUFcJ7VGY6C9CtCtwUReAYo3
6-5)" in your keychain.
 
To allow this, enter the "login" keychain password.
Password:
Always Allow
Deny
Allow
 
My Keychain password is correct. I use it all the time.
and
I can open any TT 2021 file by using  Finder. 
 
Obviously, I using a Mac. It's an M1 Apple silicon version and I purchesed TT H&B 2021 as a download from Amazon, if that matters.
 
Thanks!
