How to retrieve keychain password on Mac?

I recently changed the login to my Macbook Air and now I can't login to Keychain and I need to keep the current passwords stored there. Any suggestions on how to do that? TIA

I understand you changed your login password, and now Keychain doesn't work because it was synchronized to the previous login password. Is that correct?


If you have a Time Machine backup, restore it.


Using whatever method you used to change the login password, try reverting it to the original password. For future reference Change the login password on Mac - Apple Support.
