The key chain #2 should allow changing of the pass phrase or any options. The requires re-encrypting all the keys with the new derived key of the new pass phrase/options.

Re-encrypt process

  • make a backup of the old key chain
  • create a new key chain with new options (pass phrase, dek options, ...)
  • import the existing keys into the new key chain
  • delete the old key chain
  • rename the new key chain
  • delete the backup

If any of the above steps, then rename the backup to the original name and delete the new key chain.
