Jenkins - Storing Passwords, Secrets, and Credentials

From the dashboard, select your pipeline:

Click configure

In the default General tab, scroll down and click Add to add a secret.

Select the type of credentials you wish to store. Details of each type are further below.

Username / Password

Use this type whenever you have a username/password combination, such as authenticating with a Docker registry.

Secrets / Tokens

This is probably going to be the most commonly used type. Use this whenever there is a single string value that you need, such as an authorization token.

SSH Keys

Use this type for storing SSH keys for logging into your remote servers for deployment etc.
