Securing Git Password
-
Is there a secure way to enter my Git password when configuring Git as a Source Control Provider? The only way I was able to enter my credentials was in plain text in the URL which of course is incredibly insecure (looks like this https://username:password@mystashsever.com/)
Product: BuildMaster
Version: 4.5.6

Which aspect of insecurity are you referring to? Those credentials (as long as they are sent over SSL) are encrypted before they are transmitted. If you mean storing them in the BuildMaster database, of course that does leave them available to anyone who has access to them, but you can configure permissions to hide debug logs and access to the configuration for that provider.
Anyway, you should configure your git client to use key-based authentication if the username/password combo can't be done.
