    # you can get the current user's password by settings the account to $USER

# You can assign it to a variable like so:
SFTP_PASS=`get_keychain_pw`
echo $SFTP_PASS

# or use it directly like so:
echo get_keychain_pw

# ideally you'll want to use this with something that doesn't echo the password to the screen, which defeats the purpose of putting a password into your keychain.

#For accessing things other than your main account, this command doesn't seem to work with 10.11.5 right now
