Passwords used in connection strings can be saved in the database, so that only administrators that add the password are familiar with the password string. Passwords can be saved in the Admin>>Adapters>>Passwords menu.

Click the button "+ Add New Password" to add a new password to the database. Give the new password a name and type the password in the password field. Save it to the database.

After saving the password, you'll notice an export icon behind the password. Click this button to copy the password placeholder to your clipboard.

The password can be referred to in connection strings using this placeholder. Example of a placeholder is this: #PASSWORD-MyPassword#.

Your new connection string should look something like this:

Provider=SERVER;Data Source=DATABASE;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=username;password=#PASSWORD-MyPassword#
