react-native-keychain
Advanced tools
The react-native-keychain package provides a secure way to store and retrieve sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, and other credentials in a React Native application. It leverages the native keychain services on iOS and the Keystore system on Android to ensure data is stored securely.
Storing Credentials
This feature allows you to securely store a username and password in the device's keychain or keystore.
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async function saveCredentials(username, password) {
await Keychain.setGenericPassword(username, password);
}
Retrieving Credentials
This feature allows you to retrieve stored credentials from the device's keychain or keystore.
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async function getCredentials() {
const credentials = await Keychain.getGenericPassword();
if (credentials) {
console.log('Credentials successfully loaded for user ' + credentials.username);
} else {
console.log('No credentials stored');
}
}
Resetting Credentials
This feature allows you to reset or delete the stored credentials from the device's keychain or keystore.
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async function resetCredentials() {
await Keychain.resetGenericPassword();
}
Storing Internet Credentials
This feature allows you to securely store internet credentials (e.g., server, username, password) in the device's keychain or keystore.
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async function saveInternetCredentials(server, username, password) {
await Keychain.setInternetCredentials(server, username, password);
}
Retrieving Internet Credentials
This feature allows you to retrieve stored internet credentials from the device's keychain or keystore.
import * as Keychain from 'react-native-keychain';
async function getInternetCredentials(server) {
const credentials = await Keychain.getInternetCredentials(server);
if (credentials) {
console.log('Internet credentials successfully loaded for server ' + server);
} else {
console.log('No internet credentials stored for server ' + server);
}
}
react-native-sensitive-info is another package that provides secure storage for sensitive information in React Native applications. It supports storing data in the Android Keystore and iOS Keychain, similar to react-native-keychain. However, it also offers additional features like encryption and the ability to store data in shared preferences or user defaults.
react-native-secure-storage is a package that provides secure storage for sensitive data in React Native applications. It uses the Android Keystore and iOS Keychain for secure storage, similar to react-native-keychain. It also supports encryption and offers a simple API for storing and retrieving data.
react-native-encrypted-storage is a package that provides secure and encrypted storage for sensitive data in React Native applications. It uses the Android Keystore and iOS Keychain for secure storage, similar to react-native-keychain. It also offers encryption and decryption of data, ensuring that sensitive information is stored securely.
This library provides access to the Keychain (iOS) and Keystore (Android) for securely storing credentials like passwords, tokens, or other sensitive information in React Native apps.
