Hi,

The following code adds the ssid and pass in a dat file as "ssid";"pass".

ssid = "test"
password = "pass"
profiles = {}
profiles[ssid] = password

    def write_profiles(profiles):
    lines = []
    for ssid, password in profiles.items():
        lines.append("%s;%s\n" % (ssid, password))
    with open("text.dat", "w") as f:
        f.write(''.join(lines))

I'm trying to add a third key to the file but I just cannot get the syntax correct.

ssid = "test"
password = "pass"
token = "shfg53rdf"
profiles = {}
profiles[ssid] = password
profiles[profiles] = token

def write_profiles(profiles):
    lines = []
    for ssid, password, token in profiles.items():
        lines.append("%s;%s;%s\n" % (ssid, password, token))
    with open("text.dat", "w") as f:
        f.write(''.join(lines))

#should save keys: "test";"pass";"shfg53rdf"

I appreciate any help.

ssid = "test"
password = "pass"
token = "shfg53rdf"
profiles = {}
profiles[ssid] = (password, token)
#profiles[profiles] = token
 
def write_profiles(profiles):
    lines = []
    for ssid, _ in profiles.items():
        password = _[0]
        token = _[1]
        lines.append("%s;%s;%s\n" % (ssid, password, token))
    with open("text.dat", "w") as f:
        f.write(''.join(lines))

NOTE: storing raw passwords in a file is a bad practice; Each password should be hashed (and salted)
before it is being stored somewhere.

Thank you. That's my next step.
