I didn't buy that much on Google Music, it was mostly indie, self-published bands/groups who needed a platform, but from 24th All Google Music is being deleted and the platform shutdown.

This is the email I received:

> We'll soon delete all of your Google Play Music library and data

> On 24 February 2021, we will delete all of your Google Play Music data.

> This includes your music library, with any uploads, purchases and anything you've added from Google Play Music.

> After this date, there will be no way to recover it.

> You can download your Google Play Music library and data with Google Takeout, or transfer it to YouTube Music.

> As a reminder, with one click, you can still transfer your music library, including uploads, playlists and recommendations, to YouTube Music before 24 February 2021.

We provide API integrations as a service to our customers. We'll frequently need things like a single API key, or a Client + Secret, or a BasicAuth + username/password, merchant vendor codes etc.

Once we get the passwords/keys/secrets, they are stored within a vault, but we don't have a good way of asking our customers for them to give them confidence on supplying.

Curious what solutions people have come up with?

ie. PGP email. (Might be difficult for non-technically inclined people to achieve). Sending half to "Skype" (or generic chat), the other to email/phone. This i'd argue is less secure but seen as more secure to the customer than just having a collection form to let them enter directly. PGP self-hosted form submission which encrypts before sending...

The things we want to avoid here is having passcodes all flying around on different medium, and have a single process which is both seen by the customer as secure and is actually secure. The problems I've has is we can make something that is secure, but customers think it's not because it's a simple 'web browser' that is being submitted. We also need a non-technical solution for when clients aren't too capable, if we set something up which isn't convenient, even the technical folk will look at circumventing.

I've always searched and failed to find a solution which would allow me to have my powerhouse desktop run my dev environment, perhaps in one room in my house, then from another room connect to it and control and launch and run devices as if it was native.

Does any such toppings like this exist. It's kind of like steam link but for a multi monitor desktop.
