keytar - Node module to manage system keychain

A native Node module to get, add, replace, and delete passwords in system's keychain. On macOS the passwords are managed by the Keychain, on Linux they are managed by the Secret Service API/libsecret, and on Windows they are managed by Credential Vault.

Installing

npm install keytar

On Linux

Currently this library uses libsecret so you may need to install it before running npm install.

Depending on your distribution, you will need to run the following command:

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev
Red Hat-based: sudo yum install libsecret-devel
Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S libsecret

Building

Clone the repository
Run npm install
Run npm test to run the tests

const keytar = require('keytar')

Every function in keytar is asynchronous and returns a promise. The promise will be rejected with any error that occurs or will be resolved with the function's "yields" value.
