Accessing DCM credentials from within the Python tool

Drussek

I have stored connection and credentials to connect to DB in Connection Manager (Alteryx Desktop with DCM turned on)].

I can use this in input tools and it works fine, but how to use it in Python Tool?
Is there a way to get at least a password directly in Python, or pass it as a parameter to Python Tool?

 

If there is no such option, how do you securely store such passwords?

One opition is to store them in an environment variable but it isn't too secure.

I tried using the local Windows password repository and using https://github.com/bobpeers/Alteryx_SDK_Credentials but I have a problem with it.

 

I am wondering what else you use.
Thanks in advance for your help
