Migrating keychains between Mac machines

Solution 1

The Apple Migration Assistant will copy this over.

Solution 2

Well, you should simply be able to copy your keychain(s) located in ˜/Library/Keychains to the new computer. I haven't tried this personally but according to this page it should work.

    Soon I'll be buying a brand new Mac. I already have all the applications I want on the new one (or some of them, rather). However, I want to migrate my keychain.

    How does one go about that? Is it possible?

    Didn't work for moving login.keychain with the current Mac Os 10.6 Server for me. See my answer for speculation as to why.
