It's definitely not a restriction from the osxkeychain credential
helper. I believe that MacOS only unlocks the keychain for console
logins by default.
Googling around I turned up this[1]:
security unlock-keychain -p <YourPassword> ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
but I don't even have a mac these days to see if that still works. And
according to [2] you may have to fiddle with auto-confirmation. Good
luck. :)
