.dat files in <User Folder>\.readyapi\data
I see a lot of .dat files under . <User Folder>\.readyapi\data. Does anyone know what these files are?

The content of .dat files is encrypted. So I cannot interpret what it has. richie Attaching a screen shot of single file for reference.
Hey jovyjigs,
The files arent encrypted despite what it looks like.
What sort of authentication do you have in your ReadyAPI projects. Im guessing its not just basic auth, right?
I "think" (total guess here) that whatever project in your ReadyAPI is usinf something like json web token or some version of OAuth etc.
All the projects i have in ReadyAPI that either use OAuth in some way generate a token value that starts off 'eyJ'
As i said before, this is a total guess on my part, but i think these are token values and they are being persisted in these .dat files.
I dont have a current ReadyAPI project which uses OAuth to check, but without any other info to go on, that's what im leaning towards (despite not really understanding why a token value would be persisted like this....) i think its stored in you windows profile in these .dat files
Cheers
