You have two options, you can either use this method

knime/knime-core/blob/ded8bd4fc7c8e494d51075c143d98b2420e20d39/org.knime.core/src/eclipse/org/knime/core/node/workflow/CredentialsStore.java#L366-L369


      
          public static FlowVariable newCredentialsFlowVariable(final String name, final String login, final String password,
              final boolean saveWeaklyEncrypted, final boolean useServerLogin) throws InvalidSettingsException {
              return new FlowVariable(name, new CredentialsFlowVariableValue(name, login, password));
          }

This would be the easiest method, but it is not encouraged. Instead, you can use the auth pannel created for the new filehandling framework, you can take a look at e.g. FtpConnectorNodeDialog from the org.knime.ext.ftp.filehandling plugin. The sources for that plugin are not published to github yet but you access them as described in this post:
