How to hide credentials (e.g. password) in a script

[anon46362769]

It looks like when using NTLM authentication in a script the credentials are stored in plan text?

Example:
"@auth my_username:my_password";

Does TestCafe offer a way to encrypt or obfuscate this? I'm not looking for hard-core encryption, just a basic mechanism for internal use.

Thanks in advance

Hi @speedmaster,
TestCafe does not provide an API to encrypt credentials. Nevertheless, you do not need to keep your credentials statically. You can use any third-party Credentials plugin to securely pass your username and password to environment variables dynamically. For example, I suggest you take a look at the following plugins:

• Node.js process.env
• Envsec

Please also see the following sources, which might be helpful:
