Keychain - all but 3 passwords have disappeared ... any idea how to restore them ?

Hi All. I have an issue where a duplicate email account appeared on my Mac mail icon ( but not on iPad or iPhone) and with IT support it was deleted, however on the same day, all but 3 of my keychain items ....even those attached to a completely different email address have somehow disappeared .... I have just got 3 left and 70 have vanished.


Ideas anyone ??

Maybe your same "with IT support " can help you sort it out...


You can always restore from a backup prior to your "IT support" experience.
