Encrypt the password and decrypt it just before sending it. Not really
safe; if someone else has access to the encrypted password and the
decrypt code they can easily decrypt it.
Or you could force the user to enter it in a browser.
But there's not a lot you can do to protect passwords when others have
access to the source code, also.
