Encrypt or protect login credentials during the R session. This will prevent passwords from being saved in a user's R scripts.

Since each function actually makes several API calls, it will be ideal if the user is only prompted for their password once during a session.

The askpass or keyring packages may work.

This has been solved via @AmyMikhail's new getPass commands so closing out this issue as resolved!
