title: Replace API password in Eclipse with a variable
body: <p>New to this, so please keep any answer simple, like you are teaching a child.</p>
  <ul>
  <li>I have an API test project using Maven/Cucumber/Karate in Eclipse.</li>
  <li>The project is stored in a GIT repo, password security is a must.</li>
  <li>The feature file in Eclipse has multiple API calls for testing purposes, everything is in plain text.</li>
  <li>Each API call has a &quot;USERNAME&quot; : &quot;name&quot;, &quot;PASSWORD&quot; : &quot;password&quot; for API URL authorization.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>= Q1: Can both USERNAME and PASSWORD values be replaced with local variables?</p>
  <p>= Q2: If yes, where would the variables be defined in Eclipse?</p>
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
