Assuming that you want the process to not require input and depending on what you are connecting to that needs a password, there are probably better options anyway. There are at least:-
- SSH keys as Chubler_XL suggests for ssh or sftp type connections
- Using trusted externally validated connections, e.g. sqlplus / to connect to an Oracle database
- Using secured configuration files to connect to mysql databases
- Using a here document to feed the credentials in (not recommended though)
What is your target that you need to connect to?
Whatever you choose, you need to be careful that the method cannot be read and subverted for other purposes.
