Hey HN,I've been working on Hansel \[1\] (an encrypted personal data store you can query with agents), and there wasn't a good way to use the modern macOS Data Protection Keychain.Electron's safeStorage \[2\] uses the legacy file-based keychain, which allows other apps/agents to query it with the \`security\` CLI. Not great when you have a dozen agents running in the background! The Data Protection Keychain is nice because it limits access via code-signing access groups and lets you set access rules like Touch ID and/or password.1: https://hansel.so/2\. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/safe-storage* * *Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49349159Points: 8\# Comments: 0
