Refs #29464 - hide the password value in CCC playbook
Fixes #29464 - plain inputs can be hidden
Some inputs can be sensitive. Users typing such values would prefer to
have the value hidden in the form. The sensitive information can be a
password, private key or general multiline text. Therefore we aren't
limitting the input to type=password, but use text area with hiding
font, similarly to what we do for parameters.
