Issue
The Mask Passwords plugin only allows for preset passwords to be passed in to the build process, so it really does nothing for the security of the Job.
I need a password parameter that needs to be entered every time the job is run (as a parameter) and I need that to be masked in the console output.
From what I am reading, going to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and selecting to mask Password Parameters should work, but it is not for some reason.. any suggestions?
Solution
Tested with Jenkins 1.609.1 and Mask Passwords Plugin 2.7.3. You need to activate it in the "Configure System" and also in the job you want to use this. In the job configuration is a point "Mask passwords" which must be activated and then will use the global config to mask passwords.
