What's EscrowServiceByPassToken

[eekahil]

Aaahhh, the Keychain ! So many mysteries ( to me) there.

In Keychain Access Control:

What is this?
What is it for?
Should it be deleted?

Attributes
Name: EscrowService
Kind: application password
Account: EscrowServiceBypassToken
Where: EscrowService

Access Control
com.apple.lakitu


All I have found is that Lakitu is a developer's Mario Bros joke.

It is used for iCloud Keychain, probably for setup or recovery. Key escrow is a term used in cryptography where encryption keys or other secrets are held in escrow by someone. Should you delete it? Probably not if you are using this service.
