  • There is no secure way to store them in plaintext. What you're looking for is a secrets manager of some kind, like AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, or Github secrets. Basically, instead of storing a username/password in your code, you would store them in this secrets store, and in your code you would replace the password with an API call to the secrets manager which will then return the secret and use it.
