Hi,

What is the best way to hide / protect credentials for use in scripts?

For example, where would you store database login details, Amazon AWS logins etc so its secure and hidden away from eyes...

Thanks
 
The best approach to hide and protect credentials in scripts involves utilizing environment variables or dedicated configuration files with restricted permissions. Alternatively, consider employing vaults or secrets managers for enhanced security, ensuring encryption for stored credentials if needed. Avoid hardcoding credentials directly into scripts and prioritize secure access controls on systems where the scripts run.
