Hi Unimus Team and Community, 

I would like to propose an enhancement to the existing "Override credentials" feature in the Mass Config Push Advanced Settings. Currently, we can manually type or paste text into the username/password override fields. I would love to see an option to select already Stored Credentials from a dropdown list instead. 

While I understand the previous decision to keep things simple (as discussed in the older "Run As" thread), the manual text override introduces a few challenges in daily enterprise operations: 

1. Security & Password Exposure: Manually copying and pasting highly privileged administrative passwords increases the risk of exposure (e.g., via clipboard history or accidental screen sharing).
2. Password Rotation Complexity: In environments where admin passwords are rotated regularly, manual overrides become high-maintenance. If we could link the push to a Stored Credential set, we would only need to update the password once globally, and all corresponding push tasks would automatically use the updated password.
3. Audit and Compliance: Selecting an existing object (Stored Credential) keeps configuration jobs cleaner and easier to audit compared to hardcoded text overrides.

Proposed Implementation Idea: A simple checkbox or toggle next to the text fields allowing users to switch between "Manual Input" and "Select Stored Credentials" (dropdown). This would preserve the simplicity for users who just want a quick manual override, while giving larger environments the necessary automation and security.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
