How to redact some information in packets

In Wireshark 4.0.5 I have captured some problem with login into server and saved the capture to .pcapng file. I need to send this file to external services company, but I don't want them to know the password.

Is there a way I can redact the package containing password?

I know I can select a packet and select "Ignore Packet" and export packet without it, but I actually don't want to do that, because other info in this packet are useful for diagnosing.

I would just like to change "password" text in file to "xxxxx".

Is it possible to redact info this way or something similar, that would not expose my password to external services company.

EDIT: In 7 years old video there is Wireshark edit packets feature presented as experimental feature. Was this feature removed from Wireshark?
