Hello,

How we could protect our MCC login data, when we will install Google
API to the Web site? This code includes login data (two first rows),
which sould be secured:

email = "em...@email.lt"
password = "password" ;
userAgent = "our company name" ;
applicationToken = "ignored" ;
developerToken = "em...@email.lt++LTL" ;

; Uncomment to make requests against a client account.
clientId = "client_...@email.lt" ;

So, our login data will be available for anyone who can reach our
client's ftp server. How we could solve that problem?

Hi Donatas,

This information doesn't need to be embedded in the source code, and
can be loaded from a database, file, etc.

Best,
