Method for employing keychain storage in client device to retrieve critical information for reinstalled applications

A method of using a client device with a Wi-Fi network device, a first external server, and a second external server, said method comprising:

• wirelessly associating, via a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a memory having a non-critical portion configured to store non-critical data and a keychain storage portion configured to store encrypted data;
• storing, via the processor, Wi-Fi network device data associated with configuring the Wi-Fi network device in the first external server;
• migrating, via the processor, the Wi-Fi network device data from the first external server to the second external server via the client device;
• storing, via the processor, migration status information in the keychain storage portion of the memory when the migration of the Wi-Fi network device data from the first external server to the second external server is complete;
• and
• wherein migration status information stored in the keychain storage portion of the memory is configured to persist through a life cycle of the client device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions being capable of being read by a client device for use with a Wi-Fi network device, a first external server, and a second external server, wherein the computer-readable instructions are capable of instructing the client device to perform the method comprising:

• wirelessly associating, via a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a memory having a non-critical portion configured to store non-critical data and a keychain storage portion configured to store encrypted data;
• storing, via the processor, Wi-Fi network device data associated with configuring the Wi-Fi network device in the first external server;
• migrating, via the processor, the Wi-Fi network device data from the first external server to the second external server via the client device;
• storing, via the processor, migration status information in the keychain storage portion of the memory when the migration of the Wi-Fi network device data from the first external server to the second external server is complete;
• and
• wherein migration status information stored in the keychain storage portion of the memory is configured to persist through a life cycle of the client device.
