Retrieve in Groovy var

node('<MY_AGENT>') {
  withCredentials([[$class: 'UsernamePasswordMultiBinding', credentialsId: '<CREDENTIAL_ID>',
                    usernameVariable: 'USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'PASSWORD']]) {

println(env.USERNAME)
  }
}

To retrieve in Groovy var, it is recommended to be running the latest release of Pipeline plugin and credentials-binding-plugin 1.4 to avoid JENKINS-27389.
