Use of keyring to load username/password?

[junkyardhokie]

Have you considered adding the option to use python's keyring module to save/load the username and password?

To save the password in keyring you would do the following from a python shell the first time:

keyring.set_password("garmin.user", "myusername", "<password>")

Then in your source code you would load the password:
garmin_password = keyring.get_password("garmin.user", "myusername")

This would support multiple users and remove the requirement to store the password in plain text.

Yes long term I would like to find an alternative to saving the passwords in plaintext. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Considering the project is no longer written in python though, I will likely be exploring a more dotnet way of handling password management at that time.

One thing I wanted to share as an immediate upgrade to security is you can choose to set your passwords as Environment variables instead of in the file. While they will still be set in plain text, it does decrease the attack vector as a bad actor would have to actually gain access to the process and not just the file system.

It's a start but not ideal from a shell history standpoint
