Synthetic monitoring - Be able to do security request (auth)

Currently, it is possible to create a test suite in javascript where the auth data (token) is set through headers.
It is true that this token that is generated must be done using basic authorization data (client id, secret...) that are exposed in the same test file, which is a great security risk.

The idea would be to be able to introduce as "secret data" encrypted or through a password manager or sensitive data this information. 
On the other hand, decouple the configuration of the test use case.
