You need the password in plain text. So i think there is no way to hide it.

Yes, there is currently no way to store the password in a way that cannot be extracted. You can certainly make it harder, but it's probably not worth the effort. As jedie says, your program needs to access the data, so that means anyone else can too.
The longer term solution to this is secure boot and verified firmware etc, combined with disabling the REPL etc, but that's not currently supported, and I don't know if anyone is working on it?
