Make credential persistence rollback-safe.
setCredentials() writes the protected password before the supplied identifier. If the identifier write rejects, the old identifier remains paired with the new password. Write the identifier first, then the protected password. If the password write rejects, restore the previous identifier or delete it when none existed. This preserves biometric-cancellation behavior.
Add tests for identifier-write failure and biometric cancellation after the identifier write.
Suggested fix
- await setItemAsync(pkey, creds.password, {
- keychainAccessible: WHEN_PASSCODE_SET_THIS_DEVICE_ONLY,
- requireAuthentication: true,
- });
+ const previousIdentifier = creds.identifier ? await getItemAsync(key) : null;
if (creds.identifier) {
await setItemAsync(key, creds.identifier);

keeping it as is. The identifier write has no biometric prompt, so if it fails it's a storage error, not a cancel. And the next setCredentials() or clearCredentials() overwrites both keys anyway 🤷🏼

@wobsoriano, agreed that an identifier-write failure is not a biometric cancellation case.
The concern is the state after that storage failure. pkey can contain the new password while key still contains the old identifier. authenticate() can then fail until a later setCredentials() or clearCredentials() call succeeds.
I will leave the finding open because this is a recoverable, but user-visible, inconsistent storage state. If accepting that state is intentional, no change is required.

Description
Cancelling the biometric prompt during
setCredentials()lefthasCredentialsstuck attruewith no password stored, soauthenticate()failed untilclearCredentials()was called. The identifier was written before the biometric-gated password write.The password is now written first, so a cancelled prompt leaves nothing behind.
