I want to secure the username and password which are in plaintext in my elasticsearch.yml, logstash.yml and kibana.yml files. How can I do it? My ELK stack version is 7.10.2.

How to secure the default elastic username and password in elasticsearch.yml, logstash.yml and kibana.yml files?

I'd just remove them from elasticsearch.yml file.
