How to write 2 values in one line and read them later again? Python

I want to create a Programm that saves login information in a file. So I think the best way is to write the username and password like this:

username # password

But how to writhe it so and how to read it again? My Code writes in 3 lines instead of one:

file = open(“testfile.txt”,”w”) 

file.write(username) 
file.write(“#”) 
file.write(password) 

file.close() 

file = open(“testfile.txt”, “r”)
print file.read(1)

How can I make the programm only write in one line?

Edit I need to save to 2 Values in the variables again.

This will let you write both usernames and passwords in one line:

username, password = 'username', 'password'

with open("testfile.txt", 'w') as file:
    file.write(f"{username} # {password}")

To read from your file

lines = [] 
with open('testfile.txt', 'r') as file:
    for line in file:
        lines.append(line)
print(lines[0]) # this will print line 1

For reading you can use the split function:

print(file.readline().split('#'))
