After migrating to a new MacBook and wiping the old one, I noticed that my Keychain passwords didn’t transfer—something I hadn’t expected and apparently, a common problem. Fortunately, I had a Time Machine backup and was able to recover the passwords using iChainbreaker by n0fate (available on GitHub). Sharing this in case it helps someone else who runs into the same issue.
