I'm trying to figure out the best way (and most secure) to use user-specific credentials for various data stores. For example, I have a few python paragraphs setup to query an external MySQL DB using python's mysql.connector package. In order to establish the connection, I have to add the DB username/password as arguments in my paragraph, which is probably not the most secure approach.
I'm wondering if there is a way to store these credentials somewhere else (not in clear text in my notebook), so they can be referenced via the notebook paragraphs in a more secure way? Or better yet, is there another way to solve this issue that I may be missing? Thank you for all of the help. Adam
