Hi Adrien,

Well, there is no real issue with the Plain Credential Plugin but I find 
that the label "secret text" used by this plugin when creating a new 
credential entry is a little bit vague. Using a simple password field would 
also work but I prefer using a credential item in order to avoid password 
in plain text when the ansible plugin is used within a workflow job.
