Description

It would be great to be able to store a password in a secure way in the plugins configuration.

Example:

password: {
      title: 'Password',
      type: 'password',
      required: true
},

This consists of 2 components:

  • Add an ajv definition for type password
  • Use bcrypt to store the encrpyted password

Research direction
Review the plugin configuration system in Kap, particularly how ajv validates schemas. Examine the related PR #623 for prior attempts. Then add a new ajv keyword for type 'password' and integrate bcrypt to hash the value before storage.
