Hi Alex and others. I'm thinking about going with keychain.
Alex, I'm not sure what you mean by "all my passwords and card data would be nine." Maybe a misprint. Can you please clarify? Others who use Keychain, can you please comment on how you like it, and comment upon its accessibility and usability? Many thanks.

I don't trust iCloud Keychain, only because then all my passwords and card data would be nine, but that is a personal choice and not anything against Apple. I recently had to switch to a Macbook Air instead of my Mac Mini, since the Mini's hard drive was failing. I logged into iCloud, and all my reminders, contacts, internet bookmarks, and more were automatically downloaded. Between that and Dropbox for files, I've never had such a painless switch to a different computer. I love not having to worry; if this Air had to be completely wiped and set up as new, or if I lost it and had to replace it, getting my data back is just a password away.

One of my greatest concerns, being a Windows user, was the difficulty I would encounter transferring the contents including passwords and system preferences from my old MacBook to the new one. Now I have used the Migration Assistant in the past, when assisting friends, but not without some minor problems said problems including duplicated user account errors, etc. Before purchasing the new Mac, I decided to configure and enable the keychain on both my iPhone and my old Mac. I would be lying if I stated that I totally understand all of the nuances of the keychain but, somewhere along the line I must have enabled security authorization from my iPhone. As a result, during the setup process on the new Mac, I was asked to enter my iCloud keychain security code. Upon doing this, I was sent a verification code via SMS to my iPhone. Upon entering this verification code into the new Mac, everything, and I mean everything was configured as it was on the old Mac. The migration was flawless and, unlike on my beloved Microsoft Windows, painless as well. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
