Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are currently building more powerful authentication features, but we have to keep the ability to store user names and passwords in clear text to not break existing pipelines running these tests.
Describe the solution you'd like
It should still work as it does today, but the diagnostics generated should preferably contain a message dissuading people from using this option.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is not supporting this at all. But since we have it, we should wire it in for now, and build a plan for subsequent obsolescence.
Additional context?
This is not safe, since clear text user names and passwords need to be known by users of the tool.
