In macOS Sierra, the keychain file extension has been changed from .keychain to .keychain-db, which causes errors like this when using aws-keychain:
security: SecKeychainCreate ~/Library/Keychains/aws-keychain.keychain: A keychain with the same name already exists
The following appears to fix the issue:
- : ${AWS_KEYCHAIN_FILE="$HOME/Library/Keychains/aws-keychain.keychain"}
+ : ${AWS_KEYCHAIN_FILE="$HOME/Library/Keychains/aws-keychain.keychain-db"}FernandoMiguel commented
having the same issue with the lastest version

Quick workaround: set AWS_KEYCHAIN_FILE to "$HOME/Library/Keychains/aws-keychain.keychain-db" on your .bash_profile.
export AWS_KEYCHAIN_FILE="$HOME/Library/Keychains/aws-keychain.keychain-db"
I'll submit a pull request to implement a complete fix in a couple of minutes, but the workaround should be good enough until the pull request is approved, merged and package managers get the new version.

Thanks. @melo's fix in #22 is merged, but please take a look at https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault as a far more secure alternative to aws-keychain.
