    This is pretty much how it's suppose to work...

      I'm more interested by the fact that it apparently didn't work this way before Tahoe.

        IIRC there are options for exportable and un-exportable private keys when you make one in the secure enclave. Going to guess Tahoe made them un-exportable by default.

      Maybe but this is unexpected if you need to restore from a backup..

        I've done Tahoe-to-Tahoe migration assistant moves between machines in recent months. No issues with login keychain migration.

        Don't backup keys, rotate them.
