Help with configuring Spring Security

[Souranil21 chakraborty]

I am currently building a project using Spring boot and implementing spring security in it. I know that we can configure spring security to read the usernam and password from a database but is it possible to read those data if those are stored in a file locally on my machine.

Instead of using a database like mysql or postgres can spring security read the username and passwords provided in a text file that's stored in the project directory and yes before writing thise values to the text file i will use bcrypt to encrypt those instead of storing them in plain text.

Implement springs in-memory authentication method?

hum yes, that is the goal of security. You are trying to remove the security here. Why no just running without any instead. I know it used to exist a credential less about a decade ago
