OS X has a command line tool called security that is made for working with keychains. The man page has examples of how to export all items of a specific type / all items for a specific keychain - but I don't understand how to export / import a single item.
What I would really like to do is update the password on a single IPSec XAuth Password
item but I think maybe exporting, possibly deleting, then importing would be the closest thing to what I want.
I haven't had any luck finding examples or related questions for this task, and I've not used the security
tool other than to list available keychains.
did you find an answer to importing it back in? – Chris Hough – 2016-07-28T00:17:32.080
you are awesome! is there any way to change the stored value (i.e. save it back into the keychain?) – cwd – 2013-11-22T23:52:35.567
