I have a script which requires a password for authenticating a web service. A single password for a pre-defined user will suffice, and the password should if possible be stored securely (not plain text).Obviously I don't want to write the password in clear text in the script for security reasons, so I have the script ask me the password, but entering the password every single time is a drag.So how can I make it so I don't have to enter the password every time I run the script (like sudo)?The script in this particular case is Python, but I guess it's better to implement it as a generic solution in Bash, so it can be reused for different languages like PHP or Ruby.Pseudo-code:#!/bin/bashpw = cache.load() or {  pw = ask_user()  cache.save(pw, 15min)}myscript.py pw
Sudo-like remembrance of passwords for own scripts
