Support application password about ellipticcurvekeypair HOT 5 OPEN

Yep. It is possible to do this using a custom LAContext and application password flag.

I have been working on a renewed api. You can check it out here. Also has support for React Native.

Interesting. I didn’t know you could pass a password. I thought it had to be done by the user first time upon key creation. If the api is limiting you I am open to change that. Let me know how it goes and please send me diffs :)

You can prompt the user to enter a password and use this as the application password. Though, this is not automatically triggered by the key generation.

This is a good example for setting and getting secrets with .applicationPassword:

We don't need this at the moment. I just wanted to check how it works. Once we move forward in our development I check back and try to help, when we decide to use it.

Thanks for sharing that useful article. I think as you, that changes is required in order to properly support this. I will have to think about this.

What’s needed to consider

• should work well on devices that doesn’t support privateKeyUsage flag
• should work well on devices that supports privateKeyUsage flag
• api should be simple and clear

Has this issue seen any progress? It seems like a really useful and popular feature, as Apps like Revolut use that kind of flow as well. Biometric or App password.

If it helps there an implementation here as well https://github.com/algrid/keychain-sample/blob/master/keychain-sample/KeychainHelper.swift
