in reply to How to store a password in a file

Don't store the passwords in the source code. Instead either pass them in on the command line, obtain them from the user at run time or obtain them from a secure (encrypted) configuration file only accessible to the credentials the script is running under.

You may get better answers if you better describe what you are doing.
