• Adding a password to the keychain

Discussion

The following keychain item attributes form the composite primary key of a generic password item:

• kSecAttrAccessGroup (on macOS, this key only applies if you set kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain or kSecAttrSynchronizable to true)

• kSecAttrAccount

• kSecAttrService

• kSecAttrSynchronizable

Calls to SecItemAdd(_:_:) that add a generic password item with the same values for all of these attributes as an existing item result in errSecDuplicateItem.

The following keychain item attributes apply to a generic password item, and don’t form part of its composite primary key:

• kSecAttrAccess (macOS only)

• kSecAttrAccessControl

• kSecAttrAccessible (on macOS, this key only applies if you set kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain or kSecAttrSynchronizable to true)

• kSecAttrCreationDate

• kSecAttrModificationDate

• kSecAttrDescription

• kSecAttrComment

• kSecAttrCreator

• kSecAttrType

• kSecAttrLabel

• kSecAttrIsInvisible

• kSecAttrIsNegative
