To help anonymize our testing accounts and not expose these in our code base, we set our gmail username and password as environment variables on local machines. In a terminal window run: sudo nano /etc/profile. Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

export Selenium_User1="example@gmail.com"
export Selenium_Pass1="examplePa$$word"

1. Save your changes and log out of your computer and log back in.
2. Run the command: env | grep Selenium
   1. You should get back the variable names and values. If not try running the command
   2. source /etc/profile
3. In the selenium java code, now create a string variable that you will reference as your password with it value equal to:
   1. System.getenv("<environment variable>");
