Description
Use-cases for StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials coming from property files:
- Usage of local credential files stored on Jenkins Server (e.g. .github file being used in github-api)
- Using credentials from URL
The implementation must notify users that the implementation is not secure and they take the full responsibility.

Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the plain-credentials-plugin entry points for StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials and determine how a PropertyFileCredentials provider would support local files and URLs. Done should include an explicit warning that the approach is insecure and leaves responsibility with users.
