What is Keychain?
The Keychain is iOS's secure, encrypted storage for sensitive data like passwords, tokens, and cryptographic keys. Data stored in the Keychain persists across app reinstalls and can be shared between apps from the same developer through Keychain Access Groups. Keychain access is managed through the Security framework's SecItem API.
