Password Configuration File

For improved security, you can store passwords in a separate configuration file and then restrict read access to that file. Set the passwordFile parameter in your vbr configuration file to point to this file. See [Misc] Miscellaneous Settings for more information.

See Password File (password.ini) for an example.
