Option to not store credentials in file 

Summary:**Motivation:** I don't like storing credentials in config files and a safer solution is to store them in the Keychain Access app.

Therefore I added a link that describes how one may go about to store the passwords in the Keychain Access app in OSX instead.

Found a [stackoverflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24480579/1836121) but it wasn't very detailed so I decided to write it up myself. I understand if you have some policy against external links to blogs and I guess we could link to the stackoverflow explanation then instead.
