Hello! Say I'm writing a script that logs into Neopets and performs x, y, z. How should I save the input data from the username and password so that it cannot be easily accessed by others? Or, is this even necessary?
Having no knowledge of how security works between networks and systems, I am not even sure what my approach/method should be. Do I need to encrypt the data? Is there a library that can do this for me, or is there a way to do this manually?
So far, I've been using pickle to store the data for my own purposes, and the .txt file I save it to is not protected at all. I am uncertain if there are any risks for this information to get stolen, so any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
