Comment on OSX password script for everyone to know

Comments

Locking the keychain works until you unlock it from another app. If you enter your keychain password for Mail app or for a web password it becomes unlocked for the terminal command. Which is unexpected behavior as from within keychain, even if it is unlocked, you must reenter your password if you want to see a saved password.
