Hi,

For scripts that require user credentials (e.g., email passwords, API keys), it would be great to have a secure way to manage them instead of hardcoding.

I suggest using a .env file for configuration. The workflow would be:

Provide a .env.example file as a template.

Add .env to .gitignore.

Use a library like python-dotenv to load the variables in the scripts.

This is standard practice and would prevent users from accidentally exposing their secrets. Thanks!
