Your proposal is very good. I have also considered this issue, but as far as I know, it is impossible for ordinary users to access the macOS system's keychain without a password. It may only be possible by using some security vulnerabilities on the macOS system to gain root privileges. |

Yep! You can take a look at this project on Keybase. After the process writes an item to the keychain, it does not require a password to retrieve it. Chrome also uses a similar method. |
