Secure Your Scripts and Tools: Passwords, Keys & Safe Storage for Affiliates

Posted on March 25, 2025

Protect What Powers Your Affiliate Business

Your automation tools, scripts, and promo systems often rely on sensitive data like:

πŸ”‘ API keys (Telegram, YOURLS, Reddit)
πŸ” Login credentials (FTP, WordPress, Stripcash)
πŸ“‚ Affiliate IDs and campaign tokens
πŸ’» VPS access, SQL logins, secret tokens

If these leak β€” your business can get hijacked in seconds.

Let’s cover how to store, load, and protect sensitive data properly, across Linux, Windows, and shared environments.


πŸ“„ Use .env Files to Store Secrets

A .env file stores variables outside your script:

WP_API_URL=https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/
WP_USERNAME=affiliateadmin
WP_APP_PASSWORD=abc123xyz
TG_BOT_TOKEN=1234567890:ABC-DEF

In Python:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
bot_token = os.getenv("TG_BOT_TOKEN")

βœ… Keeps passwords out of your scripts
βœ… Easier to change credentials later
βœ… Works in Python, PHP, Node, etc.


πŸ”’ How to Secure Your .env File

SituationHow to Protect Your Secrets
Linux VPSStore in /home/user/.env, chmod 600
Git repoAdd .env to .gitignore
Public web folderNEVER store secrets inside /public_html/
Desktop PCUse encrypted folder (Veracrypt, Cryptomator)

If you ever share scripts with someone β€” do NOT include the .env file.


🧰 Protecting Scripts with Secrets

  • Split your scripts: configs in .env, logic in code
  • Avoid hardcoding passwords or tokens
  • If possible, encrypt SQLite or backup files
  • Use OS environment variables if running on cron/systemd

πŸ” API Key Hygiene

ServiceTips
TelegramRegenerate bot tokens if leaked
YOURLSUse API signature per user if possible
VPS scriptsAvoid using root β€” isolate user access
Python toolsLoad secrets only when needed

πŸ’‘ Where Affiliates Usually Go Wrong

❌ Keeping passwords in text.txt or notes.app
❌ Uploading .env to shared folders
❌ Using root account for everything on VPS
❌ Sending config files over Telegram/email

One mistake = total breach.


βœ… Better Practices Summary
