i am using .associate of CWInterface to join the network. I have tried to use SecItemDelete to delete the password but it still able to connect without entering password.

i am using associate(…) of CWInterface to join the network.

Thanks.

That method ends up storing the password in both the System keychain and the data protection keychain.

Note If you’re unfamiliar with these keychain types, see TN3137 On Mac keychain APIs and implementations.

You might be able to delete the password from the System keychain, but data protection keychain access is determined by entitlements and there’s no way to gain access to the Apple keychain access group in which this item is stored, so there’s no way to delete it from there.

On iOS we have a join once mechanism, which allows you to join a network without remembering that network or its password. AFAIK macOS has no equivalent facility )-:

If you’d like to see this added in the future, I encourage you to file an enhancement request describing your requirements. And please post your bug number, just for the record.

Thanks for submitting FB20876956.

Reading that through, it explains what you want but gives not details as to why you want it. I recommend that you add that context. My experience is that details like that help ERs get more traction.
