How to store username and password in vbcs extension

Summary:

We are calling an external REST API in vbcs extension that generates a jwt token and we are required to pass the username and password in the body. Currently the username and password is hardcoded in js code that create the body. Is there any better place to store these information so we can update it without any code change ?
