One of the advantages of this approach is that you can now safely store config.json in a Git repository since the passwords are no longer available in the file.

How It Works

When you open an existing project in IDEA, config.json will get automatically migrated to the new structure​ (without the credentials).

After If you push config.json to Git and other colleagues access these partitions in Studio for the first time, they will get prompted to enter their username and password.

If you change the password on the partition meanwhile, simply create the connection again (as described above in Step 1) with click the Open Studio settings button and provide new credentials. 

If you want to change the password or delete one of the configurations, you need to do it in using KeePass or KeyChain.
