But what a task entering so many - maybe I'll have to accept it as an incremental process for the future. I forgot that 1Password can be used for passwords.

On the whole I think this is a great idea and I do this about once a year. The problem is however that one seems to going over to the old clone over and over for months. To reduce that I take over to my main hard drive a copy of the whole ~/Library (the Library folder in the Users area. It's the place I mostly go to get somethings I miss, certain plist files I really need like they where etc. The first things you will miss are the Safari– (or other browsers) Bookmarks, the Address Book database. They are all inside ~/Library. I would add in section 1: Check if the clone is mountable. I presume you are remaking your user account too?
