What are best practices around storing 3rd party API tokens/authentication? - ATinySpaceMarine - 2024-11-25
I'm slowly chipping away at a project to add DoesTheDogDie as a metadata provider for Jellyfin, and storing/retrieving third party credentials and API keys is outside of my normal coding skillset. What are the best practices for security, should users be asked for an API key from their profile or given a page to authenticate on, etc.
