So, there's a file with format designed for ftp connections $HOME/.netrc. Syntax info.

This file can be used for keeping credentials for specific locations. In this way config.json could be safely shared without user/pass pairs,

youtube-dl actually uses .netrc in this way for its extractors as alternative to direct plain user/pass arguments.

add .netrc support (#22)
d3b0407 
Use the '--netrc' cmdline option or set the 'netrc' config option
to 'true' to enable the use of .netrc authentication data.

The 'machine' names for the .netrc info are the lowercase extractor
names (or categories): batoto, exhentai, nijie, pixiv, seiga.
