Problem/Motivation
In the latest version of HA, plugins now can accept !secret for user names and passwords.
This is more of a request to add this feature to NodeRed plugin rather than a fault.
(Why the issue was filed)
Home Assistant now accepts !secret for Hassio Plugins. This provides an additional layer of security as it prevents usernames and passwords being visible via the User Interface.
This is a request to add this to NodeRed plugin for additional security.

Ignore above. I found out it does accept it. I had a typing error that took me a few days to find
Hey @austwhite, what was your typing error? The config editor won't let me save with the following:
{
"credential_secret": !secret red_secret,
"dark_mode": false,
"http_node": {
"username": "",
"password": ""
},
"http_static": {
"username": "",
"password": ""
},
"ssl": true,
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
"keyfile": "privkey.pem",
"require_ssl": true,
"system_packages": [],
"npm_packages": [],
"init_commands": []
}
edit: I suspect we're supposed to enquote it like so: "!secret red_secret"
edit: Yep, that was it.
Yes. The quotes are important.
My issue was a typo in the secrets file as it verifies the secrets file before it restarts/saves 🙂
