What's the equivalent on Windows? This issue is probably only meaningfully impactful if we address keychain-like capability across multiple platforms because plenty of developers are using windows.

My background and how it can be leveraged

have a strong background in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go, working with secure key management in various projects. I’ve integrated system keychains and external authentication methods, ensuring seamless user experiences with enhanced security.

How I plan on tackling this issue

I would first explore the macOS keychain integration using the linked Rust code as a reference. Then, I would design an abstraction layer that securely interacts with the system’s keychain, ensuring compatibility with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go, allowing users to sign transactions without storing sensitive keys in the CLI.
