I am deploying an example dapp. When I execute dfx deploy
, I receive this message on my Mac. Why would this appear?
dfx wants to use your confidential information stored in internet_computer_identities in your keychain.

dfx wants to use your confidential information stored in internet_computer_identities in your keychain.
Dfx stores identities’ private keys (PEM files) in one of three modes: plaintext, encrypted files, or in keychain/keyring. By default it tries to use keychain because it is the best tradeoff between security and usability. You can decide yourself which mode to use with the --storage-mode
flag either in dfx identity new
or dfx identity import
