You can read it from a file, like so:

open to read 1,"filename.ext"
read string 1,password$
close file 1

Or encrypt it: (You need my not-yet-released function pack)

open to read 1,"filename.ext"
password$ = read_encrypted_string(1,"touhdmnd9nidglhmndg")
close file 1

Or access it from the command line:

password$ = cl$()

Or mess up your code:

password$ = LEFT$("pants",2) + RIGHT$("pants",1) + "sword"

The optomist's right, The pessimist's right.
