Storing passwords in configuration files is generally considered a poor
56
+
security practice. The following example reads the password from an external
57
+
password manager:
58
+
59
+
```lua
60
+
local comlink = require("comlink")
61
+
62
+
local proc =
63
+
assert(io.popen("hiq -dFpassword proto=irc address=irc.example.com nickname=alex", "r"))
64
+
local password = proc:read("*l")
65
+
proc:close()
66
+
67
+
local config = {
68
+
-- …other fields here…
69
+
password = password,
70
+
}
71
+
```
