OutWit.Shared.Secrets.Provider.MacOS

macOS Keychain provider for OutWit.Shared.Secrets.Providers: generic passwords in the login keychain, service com.outwit.secrets, account = the key. Payloads are binary-safe; an existing item is replaced in place (SecKeychainItemModifyAttributesAndData) — there is no delete-then-add window in which a crash leaves nothing.

A support engineer finds entries in Keychain Access → login, searching for com.outwit.secrets.

The ACL, stated prominently

The keychain names the binary that created an item. An item added by one binary and read by another prompts the user — and a prompt in a service is a hang. Keep the storing and the reading binary the same (the normal case: the application stores its own credential), or expect the prompt after an update that changes the binary's identity — sign the app so the identity survives updates.

This provider is for user-facing applications and uses the login keychain. A daemon belongs in the System keychain with an ACL story of its own; that is a separate provider when somebody needs it, not a mode of this one.

Use

services.AddSingleton<ISecretStore>(new SecretStoreKeychain());
// or, for a cross-platform desktop app: OutWit.Shared.Secrets.Desktop

OutWit.Shared.Secrets.Desktop

The composite desktop package for OutWit.Shared.Secrets: references the Windows, macOS and Linux providers and exposes SecretStoreDesktop.ForCurrentPlatform(), so a cross-platform desktop application takes one reference and writes one line. Selecting among the operating-system providers by runtime platform is not silent degradation — on each desktop platform exactly one OS store is right, and all three protect the same way. Falling back to the File provider stays a deliberate, configured choice.
