These rules are not exhaustive and should only be used as a guide. You don't strictly have to follow these rules, but we recommend doing so for consistency.
## Cookies & Credentials
unshackle can authenticate with Services using Cookies and/or Credentials. Credentials are stored in the config, and
Cookies are stored in the data directory which can be found by running `unshackle env info`.
To add a Credential to a Service, take a look at the [Credentials Config](CONFIG.md#credentials-dictstr-strlistdict)
for information on setting up one or more credentials per-service. You can add one or more Credential per-service and
use `-p/--profile` to choose which Credential to use.
To add a Cookie to a Service, use a Cookie file extension to make a `cookies.txt` file and move it into the Cookies
directory. You must rename the `cookies.txt` file to that of the Service tag (case-sensitive), e.g., `NF.txt`. You can
also place it in a Service Cookie folder, e.g., `/Cookies/NF/default.txt` or `/Cookies/NF/.txt`.
You can add multiple Cookies to the `/Cookies/NF/` folder with their own unique name and then use `-p/--profile` to
choose which one to use. E.g., `/Cookies/NF/sam.txt` and then use it with `--profile sam`. If you make a Service Cookie
folder without a `.txt` or `default.txt`, but with another file, then no Cookies will be loaded unless you use
`-p/--profile` like shown. This allows you to opt in to authentication at whim.
> - If your Service does not require Authentication, then do not define any Credential or Cookie for that Service.
> - You can use both Cookies and Credentials at the same time, so long as your Service takes and uses both.
> - If you are using profiles, then make sure you use the same name on the Credential name and Cookie file name when
> using `-p/--profile`.
> [!WARNING]
> Profile names are case-sensitive and unique per-service. They have no arbitrary character or length limit, but for
> convenience sake we don't recommend using any special characters as your terminal may get confused.
### Cookie file format and Extensions
Cookies must be in the standard Netscape cookies file format.
Recommended Cookie exporter extensions:
- Firefox: "[Export Cookies]" by `Rotem Dan`
- Chromium: "[Open Cookies.txt]" by `Ninh Pham`
Any other extension that exports to the standard Netscape format should theoretically work.
### Sharing Services
Sending and receiving zipped Service folders is quite cumbersome. Let's explore alternative routes to collaborating on
