But can't we just store it in a password protected file instead?

Storing it in the process data items doesn't sound too great either. What if someone gets access to the process designer?

Environment variables could work, but I'm not sure how secure that really is. Feels a bit like a Band-Aid solution, you know?

I'm leaning towards Credential Manager. It's designed specifically for securely storing credentials, right? Seems like the safest choice to me.

Haha, can you imagine someone just leaving the login details in a shared Excel file? That's just asking for trouble!

Yeah, I agree. Those options are definitely not secure. We should be looking at more robust solutions like Credential Manager or environment variables.

This question is really tricky! I've heard that storing sensitive information like username and password in a local file or Excel file is a big no-no due to security concerns.
