Isn't that what the keychain is supposed to take care of?
Asking the user's password, adding it to the keychain and being
done, because the authorization can be retrieved from the keychain

(without ever having implemented something like that).
No, it isn't. The Authorization API does not access the keychain, and
does not allow the developer to do so either. That would make r00ting
a system way too easy if that was possible...
