Using a password as a variable

Hello, I have the following use case:

I want users to import data from a third party. To do so, I have created an API that calls an external API that needs an user and a password.

My app users must be able to store in Xano the third party user/password so I can use these two as the variables to call the third party data.

My problem is the following: when I build the API call, and I include the user/password as variables, the password is encrypted (as I'm using a field type password). Therefore it is not working because the third party is expecting a plain text, as if I was introducing the password in a text form.

My question is: can I decrypt the password field with a filter, or do I need to store it in a Text field? (Which I find really inconvenient).

Thank you!
