ECKeychain
The ECKeychain class is just a simple abstraction layer for managing items in Apple's Keychain.
It comes with a set of methods for the most common operations done in Keychain (to set, to get and to delete items associated to an account and service).
Installation
CocoaPods is the recommended way to import ECKeychain into your project. You just need to add the following to your Podfile and run $ pod install.
pod 'ECKeychain'If you can't use CocoaPods, you can still download ECKeychain and manually add the source files under ECKeychain folder to your project.
Usage
ECKeychain is implemented as a group of class methods, so they can be called through different parts of the app, without having to create instances of the class.
Set item in Keychain
NSString *password = @"This is a password!";
NSData *keychainData = [password dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
BOOL result = [ECKeychain setData:keychainData
forAccount:@"account"
inService:@"service"
withAccessGroup:nil
synchronizable:NO];
if (result) {
NSLog(@"Password was successfully stored in Keychain.");
}Get item from Keychain
NSData *keychainData = [ECKeychain dataForAccount:@"account"
inService:@"service"
withAccessGroup:nil];
if (keychainData) {
NSString *password = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:keychainData
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
if (password) {
NSLog(@"Password retrieved from Keychain was: %@.", password);
}
}Delete item from Keychain
BOOL result = [ECKeychain deleteDataForAccount:@"account"
inService:@"service"
withAccessGroup:nil];
if (result) {
NSLog(@"Password was succcessfully deleted from Keychain.");
