What is Environment Directive
The environment directive specifies a sequence of key-value pairs which will be defined as environment variables for all steps, or stage-specific steps, depending on where the environment directive is located within the Pipeline.

Handling credentials
Credentials configured in Jenkins can be handled in Pipelines for immediate use. Read more about using credentials in Jenkins on the Using credentials page.

For secret text, usernames and passwords, and secret files
Jenkins' declarative Pipeline syntax has the credentials() helper method (used within the environment directive) which supports secret text, username, and password, as well as secret file credentials.
