// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

CkoSecrets *secrets = [[CkoSecrets alloc] init];

// On Windows, this is the Windows Credentials Manager
// On MacOS/iOS, it is the Apple Keychain
secrets.Location = @"local_manager";

// Specify the name of the secret.
// service and username are required.
// appName and domain are optional.
// Note: The values are arbitrary and can be anything you want.
CkoJsonObject *json = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
[json UpdateString: @"appName" value: @"MyEmailApp"];
[json UpdateString: @"service" value: @"SMTP"];

[json UpdateString: @"username" value: @"joe@example.com"];

// Create or update the secret.
