The credentials (which I understand to be username/password) aren't
stored, just an authentication token. Since the Python scripts running
in Blender have unlimited access to your machine anyway (this
shouldn't come as a surprise), this one token isn't that much of a
security issue.

It's all Open Source. Why not alter those add-ons you're interested in
so that they have the preferences you need?
