Create a .env file in the base of your code folder#

Do the same for a .gitignore file

The .env file operates like bash and not python, so there are no spaces in the creds below: username=test123 password-test123

Add .env in the gitignore file. That's it. For your code, add the following

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # take environment variables from .env.

Credentials
username = os.getenv("username")
password = os.getenv("password")
