Its in your bitcoin.conf file. I think it would greatly help if you would explain what exactly you are trying to do and what you tried so far.

Does this faucet require you to run bitcoin core?

How do I want to know.
example : download, configuration

First you need to install Bitcoin Core if you have not already done so. Then you find the data directory (instructions by OS here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory). Then you either find the bitcoin.conf file in that directory or create one if it doesn't exist. That file is just a text file. In it, just add two lines,
Code:
rpcuser=<username>
rpcpassword=<password>
Where <username> and <password> are the username and password that you want. They can be anything you choose. Then just copy and paste those values into your script.

This sounds to me like a classic "asking the wrong question" case. @OP before you download 60+GB of blockchain data, you should make sure whether or not you actually need a full node for your faucet.

Agreed, most faucets don't use bitcoind. Faucets are about running as cheap as possible in order to generate revenue from the traffic. If you have to pay for a VPS that can support a 60GB blockchain plus the bandwidth, it will be practically impossible to make any money from running the faucet. Use cheap shared hosting and 3rd party APIs.

Regarding 3rd party api's which would be better for security here if blockchain storage was not an issue?

Also rpcuser and pass are required before bitcoind can start i think.

-offtopic, start a new thread-

Yes they are, but as coinableS said it makes no sense that OP is asked to set up a full node to run a faucet. Its a common problem. You have an issue Y and think X is the solution, so instead of asking about Y you ask about X. I suspect OP bought some sort of script that is asking for the rpcuser and rpcpassword, but unless we know more about it we cant really help.
