What do you want

I was thinking maybe gord could get some use from some type of encryption on the token(s) (even just base64 would be better than nothing) I think it could also get more people to use gord as it's more secure than base-discord in a way
(For example: ripcord)

Why

Well for one, the token(s) are sitting in a config file (json) just raw text so even a skid could figure out how to properly extract it with relative ease

Implementation hints

I was thinking maybe AES256 GCM (like how browsers store their data) It's not unbeatable, hardly close to that. But anything would probably be better than raw text, I made this issue to see what people think of it, I could probably implement it myself if it's a wanted feature.

Hmm security is always tricky though.
It is a good idea though.
