Hi @alwaysharsha

The best option is to use a WebHook Parameter set as "password". TeamCity will store it outside your build settings in an encrypted file.

Then reference the WebHook Parameter in the password field of your webhook authentication settings.

See this page for more information: https://github.com/tcplugins/tcWebHooks/wiki/Hiding-Sensitive-Values-In-WebHook-Configuration

Here is an example I have on my test server...

And then referenced in a webhook

BTW, the webhook configuration is stored on the teamcity server un-encrypted (I can't change how that works). So any implied security by using a hidden field in the webhook edit dialog would be mis-leading. That is why is it a plain text box, so that it's obvious that it won't be stored securely.

Referencing a secure WebHook Parameter is the better option.
