You have very basic options for this. The Hacker Plan's private repls are the best solution, but if you are unwilling, there are two main options:

Store the data in your ".env" file
Encrypt the data and store the key in your ".env" file

how do i encode it

@19wintersp how do i encode it

@Thanatos31005 It will depend on the programming language you're using. NodeJS has the built-in crypto library, you can use the cryptography library in Python. Both of these have encryption methods.

@19wintersp im using python

@Thanatos31005 Look into the cryptography library, and specifically the fernet module. They have code examples in their documentation.

Did you get a way out for this? @Thanatos31005

You can try encrypting the file, but I would just use an external editor

that's not possible.

you cannot. The only files that are private are .env files.
To learn how to use them: https://docs.repl.it/repls/secret-keys

note: you cannot just rename files to .env and expect it to work!

@Coder100 what would you do if replit does not allow you to use a .env file anymore

nevermind i got it
