[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1634297, member: 38864"] Copy them over. [url=http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/05/copy-keychain-login-passwords-between-macs/]Copy Keychain Logins & Passwords from One Mac to Another | OSXDaily[/url] When you migrated your user data and told it to include the Keychain data, you effectively said that the backup takes priority. If you had let that option unchecked, then when you signed in to iCloud, the Keychain would have synced up with the existing iCloud items. It may not have overridden the newer passwords, but rather merged them all together in one big mess. I had to go on a cleaning spree myself a year or so ago when I found numerous duplicates spread over various categories in Keychain as a result of the migration to iCloud. [/QUOTE]
