Feb 13, 2016 7:37 AM in response to randolphsby Barney-15E,If you back up your user account, you can restore it after reinstalling. That will restore the keychain.
The keychain is stored in your user Library/Keychains folder. You can copy the login keychain, but I don't know how to restore it separately as I've never tried.
To open your User Library folder, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
