Keychain not filling in login info

Since migrating my data from my old MacBook to my new one (old: 2013 15" Pro, new: 16" Pro M1), the username and passwords are not being pulled from my keychain when trying to access accounts. Is there a secret to doing this? I'd hate to have to redo all the usernames and passwords for every website that I use.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Never mind. Figured out that my new MacBook adds a step requiring fingerprint or user password to autofill passwords. I suspect I'll be finding more of these differences as I get used to the new Pro.
