Remarks

This method can be used to lookup for the password in the default MacOS keychain for Internet accounts. Most of the parameters are optional and will accept null. Provide as many as needed to narrow the search sufficiently for your application. If multiple matching passwords exist, the first one will be returned. This method will cause the Unlock Keychain dialog box to be displayed, if the default keychain is currently locked. This method is not available for iOS.
