Let's say you plan to buy a new iMac , iPad or iPhone.

When transfer programs, files etc to new iMac, iPad , iPhone a lot will be using migration assistant.

so my question is ,

- all the current settings you set on your present iMac , iPad and iPhone will be all transfer to the new sets?
- You need to key in passwords again in every single site, etc you going to use , surf on the new imac, ipad, iphone?

Most do but there are exceptions. Mail smart mailboxes don't get transferred.

You need to key in passwords again in every single site,

If you use a password manager such as 1Password then logins work normally.
