When enabled, allows masking passwords that may appear in the console.

Passwords defined as build parameters (using the Password Parameter type) are automatically masked.

It is also possible to mask passwords that are defined as Name/Password pairs:

• Password is aimed at containing a password to be masked from the console. Empty and blank values are not allowed (e.g. " ", etc.). This field is ciphered. This field can not contain variables, they won't be expanded.
• If Name is set, then a build variable will be defined accordingly. This allows accessing the password by using the variable rather than hard-coding it in a field which is not ciphered (e.g. the ones of the Invoke Ant or Execute shell build steps).
