Major idea is to have a keychain on a local compute that contains shared (or personal) passwords and secure them by biometrics in addition to session id

as alternative instead of touchid, can be requested yubikey physical button press to confirm that its a real human interact with the keychain.

p.s. keychain is a specific MacOS thing, bitwarden has a chance to provide a cross-platform keychain that all the developers will love to use.
