Passwords as Flow Variables in Custom Nodes

I have generated a custom node based on an OpenAPI specification using NodePit’s nodegenerator.jar. I have modified the NodeDialog class using DialogComponentPasswordField for users to configure a password and store it using NodeSettings class.

However, I want to be able to pass in the password as a Flow Variable from a Credentials Configuration node. Right now, my field is displaying as a String type in the new node’s Flow Variables configuration, so I cannot assign the credentials flow variable to it.

Does anyone know what classes I need to instantiate to be able to take credentials as input to the new node? An example would be extremely helpful, too.

I tried to enter Open AI authenticator key which is Quite long that what is permitted in the Node Password Enter BOX. It is not accepting after a certain size and the key I got from OPEN AI is much longer.
Can any one help me out

After days of searching KNIME Forums, Google, and Bing, I was finally presented with a KNIME Forum post that I have never seen before. This is the post with an example of using Credentials:

Extension node with Credentials - need code example - Node Development - KNIME Community Forum

However, I am faced with a new issue implementing this solution whenever I try to re-configure the node:

The “my-credentials” key is only mentioned once in the NodeModel class, and it’s not clear to me how to resolve this error. At this point, I cannot re-configure my node.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to resolve this issue in the example files from the other Forum post, then I would greatly appreciate some guidance.

To resolve my final issue, all that I had to do was to modify the

static final SettingsModelAuthentication createAuthenticationModel() {
return new SettingsModelAuthentication(“my-credentials”, AuthenticationType.USER_PWD);

to take a String argument for my model names

static final SettingsModelAuthentication createAuthenticationModel(String key) {
return new SettingsModelAuthentication(key, AuthenticationType.CREDENTIALS);
}

(Note - I also wanted to use CREDENTIALS passed from Credentials Configuration nodes, so I removed the USER_PWD authentication type.)
