Saving Email/Password to Keychain in iOS

I'm very new to iOS development so forgive me if this is a newbie question. I have a simple authentication mechanism for my app that takes a user's email address and password. I also have a switch that says 'Remember me'. If the user toggles that switch on, I'd like to preserve their email/password so those fields can be auto-populated in the future.

I've gotten this to work with saving to a plist file but I know that's not the best idea since the password is unencrypted. I found some sample code for saving to the keychain, but to be honest, I'm a little lost. For the function below, I'm not sure how to call it and how to modify i开发者_如何学运维t to save the email address as well.

I'm guessing to call it would be: saveString(@"passwordgoeshere");

Thank you for any help!!!

+ (void)saveString:(NSString *)inputString forKey:(NSString *)account {

    NSAssert(account != nil, @"Invalid account");
    NSAssert(inputString != nil, @"Invalid string");

    NSMutableDictionary *query = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];

    [query setObject:(id)kSecClassGenericPassword forKey:(id)kSecClass];
    [query setObject:account forKey:(id)kSecAttrAccount];
    [query setObject:(id)kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked forKey:(id)kSecAttrAccessible];

    OSStatus error = SecItemCopyMatching((CFDictionaryRef)query, NULL);
    if (error == errSecSuccess) {
        // do update
        NSDictionary *attributesToUpdate = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[inputString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] 
                                                                      forKey:(id)kSecValueData];

        error = SecItemUpdate((CFDictionaryRef)query, (CFDictionaryRef)attributesToUpdate);
        NSAssert1(error == errSecSuccess, @"SecItemUpdate failed: %d", error);
    } else if (error == errSecItemNotFound) {
        // do add
        [query setObject:[inputString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] forKey:(id)kSecValueData];

        error = SecItemAdd((CFDictionaryRef)query, NULL);
        NSAssert1(error == errSecSuccess, @"SecItemAdd failed: %d", error);
    } else {
        NSAssert1(NO, @"SecItemCopyMatching failed: %d", error);
    }
}


I've written a simple wrapper that allows saving of any NSCoding-compliant object to the keychain. You could, for example, store your email and password in an NSDictionary and store the NSDictionary to the keychain using this class.

SimpleKeychain.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@class SimpleKeychainUserPass;

@interface SimpleKeychain : NSObject

+ (void)save:(NSString *)service data:(id)data;
+ (id)load:(NSString *)service;
+ (void)delete:(NSString *)service;

@end

SimpleKeychain.m

#import "SimpleKeychain.h"

@implementation SimpleKeychain

+ (NSMutableDictionary *)getKeychainQuery:(NSString *)service {
    return [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
            (id)kSecClassGenericPassword, (id)kSecClass,
            service, (id)kSecAttrService,
            service, (id)kSecAttrAccount,
            (id)kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock, (id)kSecAttrAccessible,
            nil];
}

+ (void)save:(NSString *)service data:(id)data {
    NSMutableDictionary *keychainQuery = [self getKeychainQuery:service];
    SecItemDelete((CFDictionaryRef)keychainQuery);
    [keychainQuery setObject:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:data] forKey:(id)kSecValueData];
    SecItemAdd((CFDictionaryRef)keychainQuery, NULL);
}

+ (id)load:(NSString *)service {
    id ret = nil;
    NSMutableDictionary *keychainQuery = [self getKeychainQuery:service];
    [keychainQuery setObject:(id)kCFBooleanTrue forKey:(id)kSecReturnData];
    [keychainQuery setObject:(id)kSecMatchLimitOne forKey:(id)kSecMatchLimit];
    CFDataRef keyData = NULL;
    if (SecItemCopyMatching((CFDictionaryRef)keychainQuery, (CFTypeRef *)&keyData) == noErr) {
        @try {
            ret = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:(NSData *)keyData];
        }
        @catch (NSException *e) {
            NSLog(@"Unarchive of %@ failed: %@", service, e);
        }
        @finally {}
    }
    if (keyData) CFRelease(keyData);
    return ret;
}

+ (void)delete:(NSString *)service {
    NSMutableDictionary *keychainQuery = [self getKeychainQuery:service];
    SecItemDelete((CFDictionaryRef)keychainQuery);
}

@end

I don’t think your suggested method is a good way to do a 'Remember me' function. I believe a better way is to simply not log that user out from its account on the server. Store a cookie on the client side with a hashed value in it, and send that with every server call. You should always do that with every server call anyway, as opposed to sending locally stored passwords. Don’t even store them in local variables.

If the user wants to store the password on its Keychain, that’s a totally different and independent user task than ‘Remember me’. I’m afraid you have confused these two use cases.
