What is your question?
I am currently trying to securely store and pass credentials to conan. From what i found, no matter how you pass the credentials to conan remote login, they will always be stored in conan.db.
Is this understanding correct? And is there any way around this, to not store the cleartext credentials in the conan.db file?
