Restore Safari Passwords after Time Machine Restore

Hi community,

My fusion drive on my iMac died and I successfully installed a new drive and restored my system from my Time Machine backup. Everything looks cool, EXCEPT, all my stored passwords in Safari are gone. This is like an apocalypse because I don't want to have to reset passwords for every site I visit. Is there any way to get them back? I thought Time Machine brought over the Keychain on restore?

I figured this out on my own.

Answer. Be smarter then me and make sure your Keychain is active in iCloud after you do your Time Machine restore. Mine was not.
