Azure Key Vault?[^]
Using the .NET Core Configuration.Extensions.KeyVault (or something like that) package, you can import all your secrets into your app as if they were in your app.config file.
Pro-tip: For your local configuration with secrets that you do not want in source control or your key vault, use user secrets[^].

I was going to post that. I've used Key Vault years ago, and even without a wrapper to simplify things, I found it to be very straightforward to use (once you got past initial authentication, which you've obviously already figured out).

If you're deploying the client to a Windows machine (as opposed to *nix), I'd use the Windows Credential Manager - that means you have to be able to get them out of there, but they are protected by DPAPI at least

Put them in Pastebin.com (in earlier days, I would have suggested Post It notes on your computer). Make it Public, so that they can be easily accessed, but, for security, don't tell anyone.

I only just went through the input - I mean really, that that's the ideal Burns and Allen line by the straight man (my apologies to LGPTQIA+ and the sheep).
Burns: Say goodnight, Gracy.
Allen: Goodnight, Gracy.
I'm generally "off line" on weekends and so you do get some relief.

Dollar Tree had a $1 screen protector for phones.
Nice
Wrong size
Even though the size is off (by maybe 7 or 8 mm) it's a good thing and I'm using it.
The size is the only problem.
The Sprint Store will sell me one; perfect size.
I think theirs is $40 (Forty Dollars)
eBay and Amazon are putting them out there, generally in the range of 2-to-5 dollars.
If you know what you're talking about (in this case, I barely, if at all, know anything about this stuff) you can help a clueless newbee.
Guide me oh great nerds of the internet; you are the true source of knowledge on this earth.
Are these things on the internet as good as the $40 thing from Sprint ?

Let me put it this way: just before I went down with C-19, I bought some 2.8mm strimmer wire for my petrol strimmer. And I got to use it on Monday (it's a moped-on-a-stick, 52cc engine at one end and a strimmer head at the other, so it's heavy). And it was useless. Every couple of moments it would wind itself round the strimmer head an lock it solid, so I'd spend 10 minutes getting it out, fixing it, and starting again. After the third try, I threw all 50m in the bin and bought genuine Stihl wire (even though my strimmer isn't Stihl) from Amazon.
It arrived yesterday, so I loaded it up today and it worked perfectly for an hour or so.
Yes, it cost more. Yes, it looks the same. Yes, it has a nice reel with the Stihl logo on to hold it.
But ... it works. I learned once again that buying cheap can get expensive!
Cheap screens may not have oil resistant layers, are probably PETG which is prone to scratches and cracks.
I'd assume the phone wasn't cheap: so why put a cheap protector on? Maybe you don't need a $40 one, but you'd be relying on a $1-including-profit,-shipping,-cost-of-sales,-taxes,-... to protect probably the most important part ...

What do want a protector for? The sooner your ficking smartphone becomes unusable, the sooner you will be free.

I have been happy with the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Screen Protector I purchased for my phone a while back, if you are looking for options. For a film protector, it went on real nicely with some patience, and hasn't peeled anywhere over the past 1.5 years. That is especially remarkable, since the phone is a Samsung with rounded edges.

you buy a phone with the most damage resistant glass known to man then put a layer of scratch prone plastic over it to "protect" it. Bloody idjits.

Glass is strong - but fragile - but it is easily scratched by stuff like keys, grit, sand, and such like. Heck, toothpaste can scratch glass, which is why it's used as a polish to remove scratches from some watch crowns!
Adding a screen protector means you can easily replace it when it does get scratched up and blurred, without replacing the expensive screen.

I think he is referring to Gorilla glass and other types of synthetic sapphire 'glass'.

yes, my watch crown is synthetic sapphire - and it's scratched!
