Can I share my app credentials?

[Jami_W]

So recently someone was asking me if they could borrow my application credentials (waiting for there's to get approved)

Should I give them it? or could they do something harmful w/ it?

What are you app credentials?

[Jami_W]

It's for chained payments

What are the credentials?

[Jami_W]

I feel like I shouldn't be sharing them on a public forum.

People could use them

Not asking for details, what are the definition of app credentials?  I have no idea why you mean by app credentials or what app.

[Jami_W]

I mean this: Paypal-apps.com

an application there

I would not share app credentials.  Let the person wait to get their own.

edit: typo

Is there a downside if I do?

What can happen?

You NEVER want to give that information out! Its just a sensative as a social number or credit card number. There is a reason paypal has you validate you are the account holder now when requesting them. You are giving out information to your website that can expose you to website takeovers and hacking.
