@atroo/capacitor-secure-storage-plugin

Securely store secrets such as usernames, passwords, tokens, certificates or other sensitive information (strings) on iOS & Android

Compatibility

Since v5 we follow the versioning of Capacitor, which means v5 of this plugin can be used with Capacitor 5, while v6 can be used with Capacitor 6.

Install

npm install @atroo/capacitor-secure-storage-plugin
npx cap sync

Features

Android

This plugin uses EncryptedSharedPreferences to store sensitive information securely on any Android device. It will automigrate data from older versions after update.

iOS

When using set() you can specify a different accessibility modifier of the keychain to control, when access to a key should be allowed. Providing a different accessibility modifier on consecutive calls of set() for the same key, will remove the old key and create it new under the hood to prevent keychain errors.

Notes

Android

AutoBackup

To stay secure you need to handle the Auto Backup rules in Android. Please refer to this document.

Java 17
