Sorry if throwing a bit of wrench in your way but in general nowadays OAuth2.0 bearer token based authentication with API's is the preferred way to do things.
This way you don't have to send the username/password to the site, just the JWT token signed by the identity provider. It is of course depending on the case, but usually frameworks support OAuth quite easily, and you don't have to worry about storing the credentials yourself.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'll probably go that way once I get familiar with basic HTTP authentication in Spring.
