How to stop Microsoft SharePoint pop up continually asking me to share confidential information stored in keychain

Hi, I no longer have or use Microsoft SharePoint (as far as I can see by searching my applications) but I continually get a pop up on my Mac saying that Microsoft SharePoint wants to sue my confidential information stored in 'Microsoft Identity xxxxxx' in my keychain. It then asks me to allow or deny. I always click Deny, but I have to click it approx 10 times before it dissapears. It then reappears about an hour later and repeats every day. its very frustrating. Any ideas on how I can stop this???

Thanks

Paul

    HI Tina--

    I have the same problem. This thing pops up on my screen all the time--and offers no "Always Deny" option, nor does it even disappear when I click "Deny"!! (It stays there and I need to move it aside to see the screen behind it. I saw your instructions to Paul, but can't seem to even find the "Key Chain Access" on my Mac... Where is that?

    Thank you! (I see I am far from the only one with this problem!!)

    Huh?? I tried reaching Microsoft. They are not accessible to the average person....by the way I am 75, and not a computer whiz although I can get around for what I need. Microsoft has absolutely no interest in fixing it from their end.
