Storing passwords to external services

I want to build an integration that uses external software. For this, I need to askthe user for a pass and a username. Where should I store this data? I do not want to save it inside a personal database due to security reasons

Hey @catalinsendsms ,

does the external software store username and password to authenticate?

@Oscar1 , @lynton any thoughts on this?

No it does not. But I need them to access the api @dennisedson

You will need to store this in some secure external system. It sounds like you are building a custom integration, so it is up to your software code to securely store api credentials.
