You're looking for credential.username. I don't know about the passphrase, but if you dislike http://username:password@my-git-repo.com:8000 then put the credentials in your Jenkinsfile like so:

The second most common type of Credentials is "Username and Password" which can still be used in the environment directive, but results in slightly different variables being set.

environment {
   SAUCE_ACCESS = credentials('sauce-lab-dev')
}

This will actually set 3 environment variables:

SAUCE_ACCESS containing <username>:<password>
SAUCE_ACCESS_USR containing the username
SAUCE_ACCESS_PSW containing the password

credentials is only available for Declarative Pipeline. For those using Scripted Pipeline, see the documentation for the withCredentials step.
