NetBox version

v3.7.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I use some custom fields to store device information, which cannot be stored in all other fields so far. For authentication I added custom-fields for user / password for my devices. Unfortunately the password can only be stored as "text" - which would be shown in plaintext as soon as the device is selected.
It would be great if there will be another custom-field-type for passwords (text which would be hidden at first in the device view)

Use case

confidential information (plaintext passwords) would not be shown during live share sessions and so on.

Database changes

I am not sure how the model looks like regarding custom fields.
Maybe all these types are hard coded in the source and there is only an addition in the UI necessary...

External dependencies

No response
