I think the correct solution is to use a keyring. On Linux there's gnome keyring and last time I worked on a IOS app there was something similar.
This does mean entering your keyring password a lot.

Not when you put that keyrings password into the user keyring. I think it is also cached by default.
Then what stops the malware accessing the keyring?
On disk, it’s encrypted. The running service, at least on macOS, only hands the item out to specific apps, based on their code signing identity.
