I know this is probably not super-secure, but the way I get around this is
I declare the variables in the script application, but don't define them
until the first time the applet is run.

Doing it this way, you can't see the values if you open the script in
BBedit, etc.

------------
property userId : ""
property userPassword : ""

if userId is "" then
  set userId to text returned of (display dialog "Enter User ID" default
answer "")
  set userPassword to text returned of (display dialog "Enter password"
default answer "" with hidden answer)
end if

Also, in my setup (Script Debugger on OS X 10.10.4) if I export as
run-only, I don't see any of the script text in quick look or in the
preview when viewing in columns. I can see the script text in both if it's
not saved as run-only.


I think there used to be a way to do a script that reads:

Tell application "MyAppletWithUserId"
Set hiddenId to userId
Set hiddenPassWord to userPassword
End

But I can't get that to work, thankfully, so I don't think it's trivial to
get an unencrytped value from a script.
