Task.json input type of password

Is there a way to specify an input to be a secured field (masks the input)?

{
   "name": "password",
   "type": "password",
   "label": "Password",
   "defaultValue": "",
   "required": true
}

Hey @bryanmacfarlane,

Variables that are secrets get encrypted and stored securely.

As for that, how shall one read these variables from a PowerShell script? Is referencing by $env:<variable_name>going to return a string, or something like System.Security.SecureString? I need to be able to use that secret variable in a .ps1 file.
