HPKeychain

A lightweight Swift library for convenient keychain access

Accessing the keychain

To fetch a credential from the keychain, all you have to do is call try Keychain.shared.fetchCredential(for:). credentialType specifies what kind of item you’re looking for. Currently there are two supported credential types. .generic(service: String) and .internetPassword(server: String).

Example

let credential = try KeychainManager.shared.fetchCredential(for: .internetPassword(server: "https://github.com"))

Adding to the keychain

To store a new item in the keychain, simply create a Credential instance and pass it to the KeychainManager.

Example

let credential = Credential(username: "admin", password: "admin", credentialType: .internetPassword(server: "https://github.com"))
try KeychainManager.shared.storeCredential(credential)

Updating a keychain item

Updating items is almost as easy adding them in the first place. Either create a new set of credential or update an existing instance by calling credential.makeUpdatedCredential(username:password:). After that you can call try KeychainManager.shared.updateCredential(_:).

Example

let updatedCredential = existingCredential.makeUpdatedCredential(password: "someMoreSecurePassword")
try KeychainManager.shared.updateCredential(updatedCredential)

Deleting a keychain item

To delete a keychain item, simply call try KeychainManager.shared.deleteCredential(for:)

Example

let credentialType = CredentialType.internetPassword(server: "https://github.com")
try KeychainManager.shared.deleteCredential(for: credentialType)
