Description

This is from Readme of https://github.com/oGGy990/certbot-dns-inwx.

It is recommended to create a subaccount in the INWX interface and restrict this account to the 'DNS management' role. This prevents the possible loss of your domains in case your account credentials are stolen.
The shared secret is your INWX 2FA OTP key. It is shown to you when setting up the 2FA. It is not the 6 digit code you need to enter when siging in. If you are not using 2FA, simply keep the value the way it is.

I was about to give up on the concept of this because i thought i have to give my real account credentials into this.
When i checked out other implementations out of curiosity i found this.
I think it would be extremely useful to notice people to also here.
