Obtaining 3rd Party Credentials

Is there a way to accept 3rd party credentials from users with Alexa? For example, if I want to create an Alexa skill that talks to a 3rd party service that requires its own credentials, is there a way via a card or some other means to ask the user to provide those credentials? I'm trying to develop primarily for Echo.
