Answer 1

Firstly, I would like to clear up using database is too vague nowadays. Hence, keeping in mind the security and consistency aspects while dealing with the user credentials becomes very important and along with it also becomes very useful as it is a point where we may be risking one's whole life-work. Hence, we need to be careful there and making use of modern technology like "Credential store" can be a good idea.

Credential Stores:

• The credential store is a set of the library of the security data. The credential is able to hold multiple public key certificates, usernames and password combinations, etc which makes it the best option to store the user credentials with.
• The credentials are being utilized in the time of authentication where the subjects are being populated with the help of the principles and also while making use of the authorization for identifying the subjects are being able to perform.
• It makes use of the OPSS (Oracle Platform Security Services) which also consists of the special framework that is a collection of the APIs that will the applications which is used for utilizing for creating, reading, deleting or altering the credentials securely.
• There is the standard application of the credential store which is used for the storage of the credentials for gaining access to some external systems like LDAP-based repository or the database.

Hence, I think it will be the best data storage technology that will be used to maintain the legal user accounts effectively and wisely.
