    Thanks.

    ​In my opinion, no Open API entity should hold a reference to any means of authentication (be it password, PIN, smart card token, etc.). Under no circumstances would such means ever be returned as API output.
    Currently, the Open API catalog does not include API for user management (setting up users of software systems, setting or resetting authentication means). If and when such an API will be added, then would need to consider how to model that.

    If these PIN, passwords, security token required to get access to some services. May be they a part of this Services? (or you can model it as resources linked with services).

    Most probably I will link them to Resources and ResourceUser. I found as well GlobalConfiguration entity in Reource domain with the following attributes: devicePassword, deviceSecretPassword, vtyPassword and snmpPassword.

    GlobalConfiguration is it a part of Resource (device) configuration and all credentials here only for management this device.
    From my point of view it is wrong place for storing end user credentials here.
