Why don’t my Time Machine backups count as something I have? Why should that only be the behavior for the Local Items keychain and not also the Login keychain?

Why don’t my Time Machine backups count as something I have?
Why should that only be the behavior for the Local Items keychain and not also the Login keychain? From the user’s perspective, what’s the meaningful difference between the two?
- DavidSJ 6y agoI’ll add: the default behavior should be the right thing for most users, assuming it won’t be disastrous for a significant minority of other users. The right thing for most users is to have an encrypted backup of the keychain that’s part of the rest of the computer backup. In fact, for most users, it could easily be disastrous not to. Also, migrations to new devices are a fact of life. It should be possible to migrate to a new device and bring your keychain along.
