Feature Request: Hide the plain text passwords in UI Admin tools

Open haripriyacv opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Hi,

All the passwords for databases are visible in plain text in the Querybook Admin UI. This is a potential security concern.

Could you please add a feature in Querybook to hide these passwords?

The passwords are in plain text in Admin tools > Query Engines, Admin tools > Metastore, Admin tools > Configuration

I’d love to work on this issue if it’s still available.

My idea is to mask the database passwords in the Admin UI (e.g. showing ******) and optionally add a “show/hide” toggle (like a password field in forms).
This would cover:

  • Admin tools > Query Engines
  • Admin tools > Metastore
  • Admin tools > Configuration

Does this approach align with what you have in mind? If yes, I’d be happy to get started on a PR. Thanks.
