Yeah it's not too rare to store passwords in config files (e.g ~/.config/appname/config.json) usually at least base64 encoded to support special characters. It is usually better to try and store a token instead as they can be revoked or expired. If you have to store a password it might be fun to look into storing it in the system keychain, at least for macos or Linux, not sure if Windows has a keychain.

I mean, it's not like nobody's joining, and a few people who have are making useful posts, so hopefully it's only a matter of time 🙂
Though, I honestly expected this community to move away from Reddit more actively.
Edit: I suppose me not noticing your post is a month old isn't a great sign.. hah
It's a little hard to iterate and think when you're adding to a complicated codebase you might not have worked with in several months, or even just a portion of a project that's seemed stable for a long time. In that scenario, debuggers are able to shorten the getting up to speed process by quite a bit.
