ks's Issues

doesn't seem to work at all :)

does this thing even work? :)

"No Secret specified"

Hi,

this is a great idea, but unfortunately it does not work for me:

> ks add "mysecret" "test"
No secret specified. Please provide the value to encrypt

it will ask for the password though.

When trying to access elements in the keychain, it also does not work properly. I added an object called testObject to the Secrets keychain. When doing an ls, all looking good:

> ks ls
testObject

But accessing it does not work:

> ks show testObject
Secret "testObject" was not found in keychain.

Integration with "Keychain Access", more secure uses

Hi.
First thanks for thought provoking and some fun.
The Secrets file and secret (as a kind of entry, as seen by the UI) are a bit unclear to me. The ks script or the help could maybe clarify this a bit?
Also that the secrets_file is per user (I always have atl east a priv and non-priv user, as I suspect would many people). So I was a priv shell to install with sudo but then testing as non priv user in the UI "Keychain Access" where nothing seemed to appear.
I then chown the ks script for owner,staff and could use it as non priv shell.
Created a new Secrets file for that user. Then UI "Keychain Access" (as non priv UI user) saw the Keychain.

So seemed better to enter secrets via "Keychain Access" - so the data is not in my command logging systems (I run a sqlite3 db of command date on top of the normal logging, that is my own so would at least let me trim and delete secrets.)
BUT the "Keychain Access" UI only seems to allow me to create items where Kind="secure note" or "password item"...
ks will list those
$ ks ls
test
secNote_UI

but then cannot really see them
$ ks show secNote_UI
Secret "secNote_UI" was not found in keychain.

Is there some way to unify the 2 areas/tools?
[I am using El Capitan 10.11.6 as my tech and dev world since I like my greater freedom there. Not yet tried this on Catalina, say]

Multiline secret

Is there a way to add a multiline secret such as a SSH key? Copying and pasting directly in the keychain access app Secrets keychain works after which ks correctly lists and shows the entry.

Edit: ks add ssh "$(cat ./.ssh/id_ed25519)"
