In keytar docs and all other articles, the examples shows that storing a password require only the ServiceName:

keytar.setPassword('KeytarTest', 'MyAccount', 'password');

What prevents other software from requesting and reading this data?

I was able to read keys created by other app in windows. So I have encrypted the value of the key.
