Re: SScrypto framework



Safest is to not store the password. At all.

That's a good answer for a server app, that needs to authenticate users. But I was assuming this code was part of a client app, doing something like saving the user's login password to avoid asking for it every time. In which case the Keychain is the right solution.

Indeed, if I had to actually remember all seventy or so passwords in my keychain, I'd end up writing them down on paper. What's the security of the Keychain vs a sticky note? :)
