Hey there, dnolder1,

Congratulations on your new MacBook Air! If we understand, Keychain Access passwords have not migrated to the new MacBook from your old one. We are happy to help!

Based on what you've described, we recommend checking out the information found in Copy keychains to another Mac - Apple Support. If the keychains did not automatically transfer as expected, try the steps to export them from the old computer, then import them to the new one, here: Import and export keychain items using Keychain Access on Mac - Apple Support.

Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities.

Enjoy your new Mac!
