Hey @yogatanaya,

You've probably already figured it out by now but I'll answer this for posterity.
creds.js contains something like this:

export const creds = {
    username: "GeekLaunch",
    password: "Password1!"
}

Food for Thought

• If you're using a version-control system, you don't want to check creds.js into it, as it contains sensitive data.
• Rather, you'll want to create a file called .env, in the root of your directory, and put the credentials-info in there. Like so:

USERNAME=GeekLaunch
PASSWORD=Password1!

• Subsequently, you can use the npm package dotenv to load the data in that .env file as environment variables. You would then be able to access the .env data by doing something like process.env.USERNAME or process.env.PASSWORD.
• Finally, don't forget to ignore .env from your version-control system.
