[Task]: Hop GUI - variables and password fields

[dave-csc]

What needs to happen?

If you like to store passwords in configuration files, you can do so by saving them with encrypted values (compare #2602 as obsolete - you now have an "Encode value" button that can do that).

However, you need to write its placeholder ${...} exactly as it is behind the asterisks mask, since variable selection from a list isn't currently working (see #3783).

A workaround consists in typing the placeholder in a non-masked field (or in a text editor...), and then copy-paste it to the actual password field.
