Encrypted Password
To encrypt your password on Windows, you can use the securestring library
First create a password using PowerShell
"your password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File "c:\passwordfile.txt"
from securestring import securestring
original_file = open("c://passwordfile.txt", "r")
lines = original_file.readlines()
password = securestring.decrypt(lines[0])
