As far as I know, one cannot easily retrieve stored info from the keychain, I mean it can be done, but not on the fly. Also, the key chain's primary purpose, as I understand it, is to facilitate security convenience between one's various Apple products and the outside world, as it were. 1Password, however, in its accessible version as far as we're concerned, allows one to quickly look up and/or generate various passwords and/or credentials. I use 1Password, primarily, as a secure way of storing my credit card numbers, various ID info, and so forth on the phone so I can quickly retrieve them on the fly. In recent releases, I do believe 1Password is seeking to expand its functionality in becoming a one-stop security solution. For me, though, I only use it on my phone and only to store info, written on the various cards that I carry on my person. Finally, although the iCloud Keychain did facilitate a smooth transition from one device to another, I have not nor do I plan to allow it to store any of my passwords or credit card info; if, for no other reason, than that I don't want to forget them just in case I am on a Windows computer as I am most of the time.

I've been interested in activating iCloud keychain on my phone. I greatly enjoy it on my Mac.

We created a Microsoft account for her and did some setup before deciding to return that laptop and get a more powerful model. When we setup the new laptop the experience was almost exactly what you described below. We entered her Microsoft account information, a pass code was sent to her email and when she entered that passcode into her new Windows machine, her account was setup, her email was configured, her apps were downloaded and so on.

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.
