Connection object leaks the password

[evangelos-dimitriadis]

The connection object has a mapi object, which has a password field. The password is plain text. I was wondering if there is a way to hide that field.

Psycopg for example doesn't return the password, but probably if someone inspects the memory of the program they could find it: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/connection.html?highlight=password

i guess we could replace the self.passwords and just pass it as an argument during init in mapi.py.
