Mardy: if this doesn't actually improve security, why is this bug marked high importance? Is there any particular user who is calling for this feature?
Are there any online services we are talking to that require this kind of obfuscation? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554040 Title: Allow hiding authentication data in scope binary Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The current scope API doesn't allow the developer to specify the OAuth client keys at runtime, they must reside in the .service files which end up installed on the filesystem. Some people are concerned about exposing their API keys, and would rather embed them in their scope binary and specify them at runtime. While acknowledging that this will actually not improve the security, this possibility is offered by all other Online Accounts APIs, and it would be nice if scopes offered this too.
