as the title says what all isn't transfered with timemachine/ migration assistant?


I noticed so far migrating from a 2012 rmbp to a 2015 rmbp that the stored creditcard data in safari didnt copy over.
also some larger apps either needed reinstall or relicensing.

Im worried other stuff may be missing.

I would do a sector by sector clone unfortunately the new macbook has a smaller SSD than the old one

This is because that kind of information is stored in your Chache and browser cookies plus keychain data!
 
while I doubt CC data is in either of those it may explain some of the apps issues.
OK so cache and browser cookies are also not transferred, anything else?
