TypeError: keytar.addPassword is not a function on electron

I am trying to use keytar at my electron project, but I got this error:

TypeError: keytar.addPassword is not a function

I saw the docs but it seems that addPassword does not exist.

My main.js is:

const electron = require('electron');
const keytar = require('keytar');

const { app, BrowserWindow } = electron;

const path = require('path');
const url = require('url');

let mainWindow;
let appIcon;

function createWindow() {
  keytar.addPassword('KeytarTest', 'AccountName', 'secret');
  const secret = keytar.getPassword('KeytarTest', 'AccountName');
  console.log(secret);
  const { width, height } = electron.screen.getPrimaryDisplay().workAreaSize;
  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width, height });

  mainWindow.loadURL(startUrl);

  const contents = mainWindow.webContents;

  mainWindow.on('closed', () => {
    mainWindow = null;
  });

  mainWindow.on('closed', () => {
    mainWindow = null;
  });
}

app.on('ready', createWindow);

app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
    app.quit();
  }
});

app.on('activate', () => {
  if (mainWindow === null) {
    createWindow();
  }
});

Can anyone help me?

Yes, that's right. The function addPassword does not exist and that's why you're getting this TypeError.

In general, this has nothing to do with Electron, because the keytar package just does not provide the function you were trying to call.

If a function is not mentioned in the docs, it's most likely to not exist.
