I have a new Macbook, I exported my old Keychain and added it to my new account. I have a couple of these keychains that I've brought with me to each new machine over the years.

When I login, it asks me several times for the password to these keychains, how do I prevent this?

Note these keychains are not my login keychain.

Doesn't look like this is possible. At least according to this blog post.

Reference: Mac and iOS Keychain Tutorial: How Apple’s iCloud Keychain Works

Note that while your login keychain is the default, it is unlocked as soon as you log into your Mac. You can increase security by creating a non-login keychain — all this requires is an additional password when you start up or log into your Mac

I think what you'd need to do here is likely import the copied keychain file's content to the main keychain file if that's the behavior that you want.

  • Can I just select all and move, or since these keychains used to be "login" on other machines, are there items I should avoid bringing across to avoid conflicts?
