## Examples

### ❌ Incorrect

```typescript
export class MyApiCredential implements ICredentialType {
  properties: INodeProperties[] = [
    {
      displayName: 'API Key',
      name: 'apiKey',
      type: 'string',
      default: '',
      // Missing typeOptions.password
    },
  ];
}
```

### ✅ Correct

```typescript
export class MyApiCredential implements ICredentialType {
  properties: INodeProperties[] = [
    {
      displayName: 'API Key',
      name: 'apiKey',
      type: 'string',
      typeOptions: { password: true },
      default: '',
    },
  ];
}
```
