# Persisting Sensitive Data
|
|
|
|
<link-summary>Storing passwords, tokens, and other sensitive data securely with Credentials Store API.</link-summary>
|
|
|
|
The Credentials Store API allows you to store sensitive user data securely, like passwords, server URLs, etc.
|
|
|
|
## How to Use
|
|
Use [`PasswordSafe`](%gh-ic%/platform/credential-store/src/ide/passwordSafe/PasswordSafe.kt) to work with credentials.
|
|
|
|
_Common Utility Method:_
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
private CredentialAttributes createCredentialAttributes(String key) {
|
|
return new CredentialAttributes(
|
|
CredentialAttributesKt.generateServiceName("MySystem", key)
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Retrieve Stored Credentials
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
String key = null; // e.g. serverURL, accountID
|
|
CredentialAttributes attributes = createCredentialAttributes(key);
|
|
PasswordSafe passwordSafe = PasswordSafe.getInstance();
|
|
|
|
Credentials credentials = passwordSafe.get(attributes);
|
|
if (credentials != null) {
|
|
String password = credentials.getPasswordAsString();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// or get password only
|
|
String password = passwordSafe.getPassword(attributes);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Store Credentials
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
CredentialAttributes attributes = createCredentialAttributes(key);
|
|
Credentials credentials = new Credentials(username, password);
|
|
PasswordSafe.getInstance().set(attributes, credentials);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To remove stored credentials, pass `null` for the `credentials` parameter.
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
The default storage format depends on the OS.
