Against which type of attack is this security measure is? What stops intruder to type out these variables and stealing the api keys if they go that far to have an access to files on the server

Am I the only one that is addicted to the intro beat❤

One more thing to add to the video - if you'll be uploading the project to github, also create a .ignore file in the same directory as the .env file and simply put ".env" (without the quotes) in it.

That's a cool terminal customization

my current way to manage api keys is to run it via 1password cli (replaces a string with the key when its run but there is no key in the code), the downsides are that it costs some money and non 1p users need to change it in the code ...

Big thanks! I didn't know about SETX for windows!

[burgek]

I don't really get it - if you don't want the API key visible in the script but have a file you can open in the same directory then it's not really much improvement on security? I was expecting some encryption?

[hugo_guzman]

Informative, thank you. Could you explain the secure way of doing this, with encryption and password protection? TIA

[delharris]

Great information. Probably better if you slow down for us newbies.😊

[santiagootero]

what about the .env file when launching the webste? isnt it vulnerable for malisious users whoose purpouse is to get the api keys?

[mraghul]

Make some data science, machine learning, data analyst simple projects for resume as well as flask

Does this still work in June 2024? I saw somewhere that client was updated and/or may not be able to be used?

Thanks for your videos

Does anyone know what theme he is using for bash or zsh in the Ubuntu environment?

TELL ME THE TERMINAL SOFTWARE YOU ARE USING, TELL ME NOW

I think that just using module variables in a "secret" directory is just as safe, and simpler, pure python. convince me i am wrong.
