Hi,

can we encrypt a string (password) using ansible vault. I have a file which contains the usernames and passwords.

Could we encrypt the username and password inside the file rather then encrypting the file with ansible-vault encrypt. if yes, then how do we go about calling those encrypted users and passwords in the playbook.

Please suggest. Thank you.
