Why didn't Migration Assistant transfer the Keychain passwords?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old 2020 MacBook Air running Sonoma to new 2024 MacBook Air running Sonoma.

Why am I only now hearing about Set-up Assistant as the fix instead of getting some warning that MA would fail to execute such a vital task?

And, no, I don't want to use iCloud for ANYTHING.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.4

Migration Assistant and keychain? When I transferred all my data from my old Mac mimi to my new Mac mini, it seems that my keychain did not transfer. Maybe that is a security precaution. How can I restore my keychain without inputing all my passwords?

Will Migration Assistant from old to new Mac replicate App Store login issues? I’m using Migration Assistant from old iMac to new Studio. I’m worried about one thing. The iMac was second hand, and for silly reasons, the old owner never scrubbed his contact from it, I never bothered with that, but it did mean I could never use the App Store to update anything, because I didn’t have the old users password. In using Migration Assistant, will the process replicate that problem? Obviously for the new machine I don’t want that to happen.
