Announcing deprecation of password field type for third-party credentials in Zendesk apps

Zendesk is deprecating the password field type for third-party credentials in apps, effective 29 April 2026, to enhance security and align with industry standards. App developers must update their implementations to use OAuth 2.0 (recommended) or basic authentication with secure settings instead, and administrators should verify that any apps they use have been updated before the deadline.
