SSKeychain delete account

I want to delete an account from my SSKeychain. I only get the method to delete the password, but the account is still in the keychain.

Is there a way to delete an account or clear the SSKeychain?

Solution

  • What I'd use to delete an account,:
    1. Instance a SSKeychainQuery object.
    2. set the service and the account, that I want to delete.
    3. call the method deleteItem: 

    //1  
SSKeychainQuery *query = [[SSKeychainQuery alloc] init];  
//2  
query.service = @"MyService";  
query.account = @"account2";  
//3  
[query deleteItem:nil];

    Then if you call 

    NSLog(@"%@",[SSKeychain accountsForService:@"MyService"]);

    This will print all the accounts for the service called "MyService" or null if there's not "MyService"
