Clear iCloud/keychain passwords
I want to basically clear out all passwords in or Keychain (at least for websites) and repopulate via a push from Chrome. Is there a safe way to do this in a batch as opposed to one at a time.

If you are using safari as web browser on Mac " A " and want to remove websites passwords , open safari preferences > click on password and enter admin password , select the website and click on edit and delete the password , ( multiple Apple ID can't be selected and deleted )
See the article Change Passwords preferences on Mac - Apple Support
Note : you don't need to delete keychain as mentioned in the thread it will corrupt normal working keychain , you are using second Mac " B " , export and import keychain items doesn't not push passwords as per the article Import and export keychain items using Keychain Access on Mac - Apple Support
Note: You can’t export passwords from Keychain Access.
The two Mac must be using same browser as safari installed in it , it will not work if Mac " A " has safari browser and in another Mac " B " Chrome is installed .
