Job import plugin has the "Passwor/API key" in cleartext. Contents of this field are stored on the server so anyone can see the password of the user that previously imported jobs via the plugin.

      I understand that API keys are preferred to be in cleartext. So ideal solution may be to split this into two separate fields: Password that will be a real password field (with obscured input) and API key that will show the key in cleartext.
