          with open('authentication.json', 'w+') as outfile:
              json.dump(data, outfile)

It outputs

{"username": "censored", "password": "censored"}

  "username": "censored",
  "password": "censored"
}

this should work:

    import json
    data = {"username": "censored", "password": "censored"}
    with open('authentication.json', 'w+') as outfile:
        json.dump(data, outfile, indent=4, sort_keys=True)
