Script to automate password input won't work

Open ballo opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

When I try to copy my System keychain data to a new Keychain, it asks for a username and password. It works with the administrator user, but having to do this for 100 items makes this really annoying as hell. Obviously the script doesn't work for this situation.

The whole endeavor is quite maddening. I tried using security export -k /Users/ball/SystemExport.keychain -o /tmp/SystemExport -P but the System password is, of course, in binary.

One of the purposes of CSVKeychain is to type the password for you. When you say that you are trying to “copy my System keychain data to a new Keychain”, how do you proceed exactly? Also, which version of macOS are you using?

I managed to find a solution and posted it here: https://github.com/lifepillar/CSVKeychain/issues/13

Ok, so I think this may be closed then?
