AlumniHi Robert,
Thank you for your post!
Unfortunately, we currently do not have a way to encrypt passwords in the project file. There are multiple feature requests surrounding this topic that our developers are planning to implement.
For now, in case of a non-composite project, we recommend that you encrypt the project file for security reasons.
For your case, our developer has come up with a good example work flow that you can use to avoid having the credentials in the project file, to begin with. I have attached the example project and file for you to look at.
You would have a credentials.txt file that is ignored (not uploaded) to Git. This file will have Username and pw on two separate lines.
The project will then parse the file and set the TestCase properties to these values (look at "Parse crendentials.txt and set Properties" groovy test step).
Now using Property Expansion, you can reference these values the Auth or form fields of a request.

At the end of the Test Case run the project will clear the TestCase properties through a teardown script.

So with this workflow, each user will maintain their own credentials file and the project file will not have any stored credentials.
