Hi, There's quite a number of Keychain references in Mavericks and I've seen these sorts of errors before. The Keychain should usually fix itself when/if you go into the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences and change your password again. Once fixed, you shouldn't have those sorts of problems anymore. I wouldn't recommend the direct login, as that leaves your computer and data vulnerable and easily accessed by anon who comes across your computer, either friendly or not.
