Useful but kind of defeats electron's primary purpose of being cross platform.

true and I'd love to be able to expand support out for the equivalent versions in linux / windows. For now, you can always fall back to using safeStorage on non macOS platforms!

The security CLI being able to read safeStorage entries is a real problem with agents running everywhere. Code-signing access groups are a much better boundary.
