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

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add an ajv keyword for the 'password' type and use bcrypt to hash the password before storing in plugin configuration. Follow the pattern from the linked PR (wulkano/kap/pull/623) for guidance.
