There is no automated way because Lockbox has no knowledge, really, of what keys you are using. I suppose Lockbox could be made to remember them, but that seems outside the core purpose of the utility. Best bet is for your app to "know" what keys to remove, as it sounds like you are doing now.

Thanks granoff I was more thinking along the case of handling storing multiple user credentials. So say I have two users byrneciaran and granoff and store a username & password for both. In this case the keys are com.mycompany.myapp.byrneciaran and com.mycompany.myapp.granoff. Now if I uninstall and re-install the app, I'd like to clear both. I wonder is there some sort of wildcard search available e.g. get all keys like "com.mycompany.myapp.*" and delete them.

Interesting. What if you used a single key, say com.company.app.credentials, whose value was a dictionary like

{ "user1" : "password1", 
  "user2" : "password2",
  ...
}

Then you'd have just one key to remove, whose name you know. I have not thought through any security ramifications of this approach, but it solves having to locate all possible keys under a given root (which might be doable as well, of course).

Interesting I hadn't considered that approach. I'll give it a go, good thinking !
