Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion.

We are going to add the Credentials Manager into TWS. 

Currently, our team is looking and discussing the best way to implement this.

Thank you for your vision for this feature request.

I'm afraid I'm cannot tell you when this will be released.

I'll keep you updated about adding this tool into the IDE.

Regards,

Kate

HI,

We have some news for you.

The Credentials manager is still in our working plan, but already now you can use the OAuth authentication to avoid storing your credentials in a project file.

This is available during you create a new project. 

Please select this type of authentication and select the type of your environment. After this, you will be redirected to Salesforce where you can login to your organization.

TWS will now save any information about your credentials.

Please let us know if this way of authentication solves the current issue for you.

Thank you,

Kate

I am a developer working for a Salesforce consulting company.  First let may say, I like your product very much and as a current Visual Studio user, it's nice to have a GUI that leverages what I'm comforable with.  I was a BrainEngine user and I'm very pleased that someone has continued the VS metaphor for a Salesforce IDE.

I would urge you to find a way to incorporate LastPass and/or Roboform into your application.  Due to the security concerns of my clients, storing any credential information with an unapproved third party would violate our contractual security obligations.

I believe that the of addition of one or both of these password managers would increase the acceptance of your product among consulting companies.

I have written C# code that accesses the vaults for both products so it is feasible although in the case of LastPass, it is somewhat of a hack.

Hi David,

Thank you for your suggestion.

May I please clarify with you if you have tried the OAuth authentication during your project creation in The Welkin Suite? This is available on The Welkin Suite for Windows. We implemented this feature exactly for improving the security of your projects. Your credentials are not saved anywhere in TWS files when you use it.

In the case when you create TWS project with OAuth, as I mentioned, you will be redirected to your default browser, and there you can use the LastPass or other similar applications to store your sensitive data out of The Welkin Suite. 

In addition, in accordance with TWS Privacy Policy, no customer's information and security data is used or sent outside the application.

As a side note, even in the case, when you use the usual way to create a project, your credentials are encrypted inside your TWS project file.

Also, we are going to add an ability to use the OAuth Authentication on The Welkin Suite for Mac.

Regards,

Kate
