// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Secrets secrets = new Chilkat.Secrets();

// On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
// On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = "local_manager";

// Specify the name of the secret.
// service and username are required.
// appName and domain are optional.
// Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("appName","MyEmailApp");
json.UpdateString("service","SMTP");
json.UpdateString("domain","example.com");
json.UpdateString("username","joe@example.com");

// Create or update the secret.
// This secret is the SMTP password for the above email account.
success = secrets.UpdateSecretStr(json,"joes_password");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(secrets.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Let's save the IMAP secret for an account we'll read using IMAP..
json.UpdateString("appName","MyEmailApp");
