I plan to do a fresh clean install of Catalina. I have a Time Machine backup and a CCC backup.
Once in the past, I did a clean install for my work laptop and I retrieved the old Keychain file and added it into the list of keychains. Things got really confused and I don't really know why or even how to describe the symptoms but it appeared as if a search would find some passwords and certificates that it really should not have found and that confused things. As I mentioned, this was a work laptop and they had funny management things, weird apps with special certificates, and other oddities.
So, my question is, what do others do when they do a fresh install? I could add the old Keychain file and then just keep it closed except when I need a specific password I suppose. But I thought I'd ask to see what others do when they do a fresh install.
