pwd in connectionStrings seen in WM

  1. Hi,
    I try to connect the database, and experience one issue as below:
    1. I got the database information from the control panel.
    2. In WebMatrix2, create a project, then create one new sql db connection
    3. I entered the db information.
    4. The Web.config added code accordingly. But, pwd can be seen, not hidden.
    Please advise.

    The password in the connection string located in the web.config file should be fine because the web.config file is automatically protected by the web server. People wont be able to view it or download it through the web browser.
