Recommended way to store password that needs to be used as plaintext?
I'm making an application that logs multiple accounts into a game server. I'm able to do this by passing in the username and password as argument parameters to the game executable.
Unfortunately, I need to do this via plaintext. How would you recommend I store user credentials so that they are at least somewhat "protected"?
Originally I was planning on storing it as a hash and salted password in a SQLite db stored locally on my machine that I would access until I realized I needed the plaintext password to login. So I had irreverisbly encrypted my login and could not retrieve it.
