Password Management

Short answer: ZipGood stores passwords in the macOS Keychain, keeps a password book and a default password, and tries them silently before asking you to type a password.

Overview

ZipGood remembers passwords so you do not have to. A default password can be set for one-click encryption from the Finder, and a password book holds a list of passwords that ZipGood tries silently when opening an encrypted archive. Passwords are stored exclusively in the macOS Keychain — never written to disk and never transmitted.
