WIFI passwords are missing from keychain

Just got a new Macbook and a Iphone, and everything seems to have synced allright. Except for WIFI passwords. They are all missing and needs to be re-entered. Is there any fix for this? The Apple support representative could not shine any light to this darkness.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Verify your Keychain remains unlocked..


iCloud Key chain from

>System Preferences>Apple ID>icloud>Keychain


What is Keychain Access on Mac? - Apple Support


Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support



The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205749


If that opportunity has past, the second best way is use the Migration Assistant.
