Keychain Access did not copy password items to new mac

I have recently purchase a new MacBook Pro, I used Time Machine to back up and copy everything from my old MacBook Air, then use Time Machine to transfer and started the new mac running. Everything seems to go well, but just noticed none of the passwords and keychains from Keychain Access was transfer to my new mac. How can i recover/transfer the keychain items in my new mac?


Thanks a bunch for your help!

We recommend that you let the setup assistant turn on FileVaultiCloud Keychain, and Find My Mac. You can also let it transfer information from another computer or Time Machine backup, or you can do that later using Migration Assistant.
