A couple of ways to address this.
One would be using a "master" password to encrypt the configuration, or
that part of the configuration.
Another would be to integrate with a running "wallet" service under
Gnome or KDE if it's available, downside to this is that I don't think
there's a standardized method for secure password storage common to both
 KDE and Gnome, and that still leaves uses of other environments out in
the cold.
Another would be to simply remove the option to store the password.
