It seems I was not confused then? The secrets are the "keychain items". I got really mixed up there.

- oneplane 2y agoSo the hierarchy looks a bit like this: Top level = Keychain Access.app or the security CLI tool Mid level = keychains (in flavours of files, core storage, data protection-enabled, and iCloud) Item level = an entry inside a keychain There is a sub-level as well, some software stores encoded data as a single item so when it's decrypted it's a bunch of different data, not a single secret, but technically the keychain system isn't aware of that anyway.
- nmgycombinator 2y agoYeah I got confused there for a second based on your original message, but I'm glad to know my understanding initially was correct.
