• After more than 30 years running websites and forums I am retiring.

    I have made many friends through the years. I will cherish my time getting to know you. I wish you all the best. This was not an easy decision to make. The cost to keep the communities running has gotten to the point where it's just too expensive. Security certificates, hosting cost, software renewals and everything else has increased threefold. While costs are up ad revenue is down. It's no longer viable to keep things running.

    All sites will be turned off on Thursday 30 November 2023. If you are interested in acquiring any of the websites I own you can Email Schwarz Network.

Hi all,

I'm creating an application that will use API call to a web application.

Therefore I need a developer API_KEY and API_PASS.
Those are specific for my application, so are

Then users can login in the application, witch will authenticate on the web application.
This returns a logintoken.

All these settings should be saved somehow in my application:

- API_KEY en API_PASS are application specific
- username, userpass and logintoken are user specific

What is the best way to save that info?
In a binary file?
In some application settings?

Thank you in advance :)

I'm not sure the best way to save the data, but as far as where you are going to save the data is important in the days of continued phishing scams and database hacks. For instance, I would save the user info is a password protected VPS of sorts.
