Hello,

Specifics nodes need user/pwd informations like MQTT broker for example.

If I want to persist informations after nodered restart, I need to put them in flows\_cred.json. It works.  
If I only fill these informations directly in the flow, I will loose these values after nodered restart.

Is there another way to keep these informations whithout using flows\_cred.json ?

Best Regards,

Louison
