I got a bulletin from our security team saying Postman stores it all in plain text on their servers. Unbelievable if true. Haven't used it since. They have all your passwords.
I had this gut feeling, but no way to check. The handling of secrets is not explicitly states, i.e probably bad. I like the looks of httpie’s new desktop client but no idea if their secret handling is any better.
Here’s how we do it: https://httpie.io/blog/changelog-0017#data-security

There is some financial relationship there. You get PAW with a SetApp bundle that MacPaw sell as a subscription.
There's zero 'relationship'. SetApp bundles popular Mac software, of which Paw is one.
>There's zero 'relationship'.
It's a reseller. They probably even charge a commission so there is a business/financial relationship.

This is what I wish all http clients could adopt. Use plain text files (IntelliJ already introduced .http files, which work great) Sadly it will never work because that would break 90% of the incentives to pay, which his having a sync system. Because then I could simply commit my http requests and git would be my sync server. Personally I don't like the IntelliJ Client, the UI is kind of ugly and requires a lot of ac…
This is what I have been working on: https://hit.yolo42.com/ . Early days but would love some feedback if you get a chance to try it out.
The idea is good, but I want a GUI.

Same here, I switched from postman and that combination is really all I need.

#98My favorite testing HTTP Client is still just the IntelliJ built-in, pure text. You know exactly what you send without having to navigate menus and whatnot. In the end, 99% of HTTP requests are just that, text.
I can't resist to propose my own solution: a cli tool, plain text based, curl, and Rust https://hurl.dev The market is overcrowded by good solutions, best wishes to other tools!
This looks quite good!

Postman environment variables are covered in this classification and we strongly encourage you to use them to store your authentication keys and passwords.

It reads to me that they encrypt Postman environment variables and encourage you to use those.
Not sure what else is "Customer data" in that regard but it seems they consider at least that bit worthy of encryption.
