Key chain is a hard beast to know what will and won’t work. I was having issues on one of my computers and had to start from scratch with the keychain. I would suggest creating a new keychain on the older system and then copying over the passwords you don’t want to lose to the new keychain. When you do this you will be prompted for the keychain password in that prompt there is a check box saying allow this for the rest of this operation or something like that. If you don’t click this check box, then every password that you copy will prompt you for the keychain password.
I did have issues starting sometime in Winter of last year where overtime my Mac went to sleep I had to re-enter my Mail passwords before I could get any new mail. > On Feb 12, 2019, at 4:00 PM, N2KPV <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all , I have been using my newer iMac as my main computer for awhile now > .
