Import Safari Passwords from old Time Machine I backed up my MBP with Sierra with Time Machine. I wiped the HD and did a clean install of Mojave. Wondering if I can go back into the old Sierra Time Machine and import Safari passwords/keychain items? Is there a way in Migration Assistant just to bring over keychain items? Any other ways?

Enter Time Machine from backup of another Mac I need to access multiple Safari passwords that were saved in my keychain, but which I recently deleted. I have an external hard drive with a backup of my previous MacBook Air (sold). Is it possible to enter the backup in Time Machine on my new computer, or otherwise just extract the passwords I need? I don't have space on my hard drive to backup my new MacBook Pro, restore the MacBook Air backup onto it to access the passwords, then restore the MacBook Pro backup...so I would have to buy another external hard drive to accomplish this.
