iOS 14.4 getGenericPassword returns a string when there is no password in keychain

[abumalick]

For some reason, getGenericPassword in iOS 14.4 is returning a big string when the user has no password in the keychain.

const { password } = await Keychain.getGenericPassword();
console.log(`PIN is ${password}`)

I don't know if it is related but the full process to reproduce it for us was to

• reset the password: Keychain.resetGenericPassword()
• reload the app
• call Keychain.getGenericPassword()

I believe I can push a reproduction repository if you need to.

It's possible that another library also store stuff in the keychain that you are getting. Try specifying a service instead.
