Keychain Access for React Native. Currently functionality is limited to just storing internet and generic passwords.
### New 2.0.0 with improved android implementation
The KeychainModule will now automatically use the appropriate CipherStorage implementation based on API level:
* API level 16-22 will en/de crypt using Facebook Conceal
* API level 23+ will en/de crypt using Android Keystore
Encrypted data is stored in SharedPreferences.
Keychain/Keystore Access for React Native.
## Installation
1 . `$ npm install --save react-native-keychain`
or
`$ yarn add react-native-keychain`
1. `$ yarn add react-native-keychain`
2. `$ react-native link react-native-keychain` and check `MainApplication.java` to verify the package was added.
3. Rebuild your project with `react-native run-ios/android`
3 .  rebuild your project
* on Android, the `setInternetCredentials(server, username, password)` call will be resolved as call to `setGenericPassword(username, password, server)`. Use the `server` argument to distinguish between multiple entries.
Check out the "releases" tab for breaking changes and RN version compatibility. v1.0.0 is for RN >= 0.40
## ❗ Enable `Keychain Sharing` entitlement for iOS 10
For iOS 10 you'll need to enable the `Keychain Sharing` entitlement in the `Capabilities` section of your build target. (See screenshot). Otherwise you'll experience the error shown below.

Error: {
code = "-34018";
domain = NSOSStatusErrorDomain;
message = "The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. (OSStatus error -34018.)";
}
```
See manual installation below if you have issues with `react-native link`.
## Usage
See `KeychainExample` for fully working project example.
Both `setGenericPassword` and `setInternetCredentials` allow to store strings only!
Both `getInternetCredentials` and `getGenericPassword` will resolve to the stored value, or to false, in case there is no record stored. They will reject only if an unexpected error is encountered.
```js
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async () => {
const username = 'zuck';
const password = 'poniesRgr8';
// Generic Password, service argument optional
Keychain
.setGenericPassword(username, password)
.then(function() {
console.log('Credentials saved successfully!');
});
// Store the credentials
await Keychain.setGenericPassword(username, password);
// service argument optional
Keychain
.getGenericPassword()
.then(function(credentials) {
try {
// Retreive the credentials
const credentials = Keychain.getGenericPassword();
if (credentials) {
console.log('Credentials successfully loaded for user ' + credentials.username);
}).catch(function(error) {
} else {
console.log('No credentials stored')
}
} catch (error) {
console.log('Keychain couldn\'t be accessed!', error);
});
// service argument optional
Keychain
.resetGenericPassword()
.then(function() {
console.log('Credentials successfully deleted');
});
// Internet Password, server argument required
const server = 'http://facebook.com';
Keychain
.setInternetCredentials(server, username, password)
.then(function() {
console.log('Credentials saved successfully!');
});
Keychain
.getInternetCredentials(server)
.then(function(credentials) {
if (credentials) {
console.log('Credentials successfully loaded for user ' + credentials.username);
}
});
Keychain
.resetInternetCredentials(server)
.then(function() {
console.log('Credentials successfully deleted');
});
Keychain
.requestSharedWebCredentials()
.then(function(credentials) {
if (credentials) {
console.log('Shared web credentials successfully loaded for user ' + credentials.username);
await Keychain.resetGenericPassword()
}
})
Keychain
.setSharedWebCredentials(server, username, password)
.then(function() {
console.log('Shared web credentials saved successfully!');
})
```
See `KeychainExample` for fully working project example.
Both `setGenericPassword` and `setInternetCredentials` are limited to strings only, so if you need to store objects etc, please use `JSON.stringify`/`JSON.parse` when you store/access it.
### `setGenericPassword(username, password, [{ accessControl, accessible, accessGroup, service }])`
Will store the username/password combination in the secure storage. Resolves to `{ username, password }` if an entry exists or `false` if it doesn't.
### `getGenericPassword([{ authenticationPrompt, service }])`
Will retreive the username/password combination from the secure storage. It will reject only if an unexpected error is encountered like lacking entitlements or permission.
### `resetGenericPassword([{ service }])`
Will remove the username/password combination from the secure storage.
### `setInternetCredentials(server, username, password, [{ accessControl, accessible, accessGroup }])`
Will store the server/username/password combination in the secure storage.
### `getInternetCredentials(server, [{ authenticationPrompt }])`
Will retreive the server/username/password combination from the secure storage. Resolves to `{ username, password }` if an entry exists or `false` if it doesn't. It will reject only if an unexpected error is encountered like lacking entitlements or permission.
### `resetInternetCredentials(server)`
Will remove the server/username/password combination from the secure storage.
### `requestSharedWebCredentials()` (iOS only)
Asks the user for a shared web credential. Requires additional setup both in the app and server side, see [Apple documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/shared_web_credentials). Resolves to `{ server, username, password }` if approved and `false` if denied and throws an error if not supported on platform or there's no shared credentials.
### `setSharedWebCredentials(server, username, password)` (iOS only)
Sets a shared web credential. Resolves to `true` when successful.
### `canImplyAuthentication([{ authenticationType }])`
Inquire if the type of local authentication policy is supported on this device with the device settings the user chose. Should be used in combination with `accessControl` option in the setter functions. Resolves to `true` if supported.
### `getSupportedBiometryType()`
Get what type of hardware biometry support the device has. Resolves to a `Keychain.BIOMETRY_TYPE` value when supported, otherwise `null`.

### Note on security
#### `Keychain.BIOMETRY_TYPE` enum
On API levels that do not support Android keystore, Facebook Conceal is used to en/decrypt stored data. The encrypted data is then stored in SharedPreferences. Since Conceal itself stores its encryption key in SharedPreferences, it follows that if the device is rooted (or if an attacker can somehow access the filesystem), the key can be obtained and the stored data can be decrypted. Therefore, on such a device, the conceal encryption is only an obscurity. On API level 23+ the key is stored in the Android Keystore, which makes the key non-exportable and therefore makes the entire process more secure. Follow best practices and do not store user credentials on a device. Instead use tokens or other forms of authentication and re-ask for user credentials before performing sensitive operations.
| Key | Description |
