As discussed in this bug report the issue appears to be the ms-mssql.mssql VSCode extension.

Following this issue on the extension apparently the extension stores SQL server connection info in the user keychain. The proposed "solution" is to enter your keychain password and click "Always allow."

According to this comment (posted Nov. 17, 2021) on this issue of the vscode-mssql extension, updating to 1.11.1 should address this issue:

The 1.11.1 release we published today should no longer have a keystore prompt on vscode startup. Please let us know if this is not the case in your environment. Thanks!
