You don't have to hardcode the password. Keys are a separate mechanism. Changing the password doesn't break the key. Google 'passwordless ssh' and you'll find hundreds of examples.
This is much easier than trying to inject plaintext passwords into a script, too, because ssh(and most other sane authentication systems) is designed to prevent that for security reasons.

Foreign(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Foreign(4)
NAME
Foreign - Logs contact attempts from unknown systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/lib/uucp/.Admin/Foreign file lists access attempts by unknown systems. The /usr/lib/uucp/remote.unknown shell script appends an
entry to the Foreign file each time a remote computer that is not listed in the local /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file attempts to communicate
with that local system.
Someone with superuser authority can customize entries in the Foreign file to fit the needs of a specific site by modifying the
remote.unknown shell script.
EXAMPLES
The following is a sample entry in the Foreign file:
Wed Sep 20 20:38:22 CDT 1989: call from the system merlin
System merlin, which is not listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file, attempted to log in on September 20 at 10:38 p.m., but the uucp pro-
gram did not allow the unknown system to log in.
FILES
Describes access permissions for remote systems Describes accessible remote systems Records contacts from unknown systems in the Foreign
file Contains the Foreign file and other uucp administrative files
