Selenium Chrome Webdriver Security

Question

I have written a python script that logs into a webpage and the script itself stores my credentials. I am trying to determine whether running this script could somehow expose my credentials? Or is it just as secure as opening my browser myself and typing in my credentials? I would have presumed it would be no different to doing it manually, but I don't necessarily understand how my script communicates with the webdriver and if in that process my credentials could possibly be exposed. The Selenium documentation refers to a Selenium Server, but exactly sure how that works. An official reference would be appreciated!

Answer 1

your credentials is safe. selenium server acts as http proxy and sends your script http data , pass through selenium server before running in browser.
