Correct place to pass in parameters in Selenium testing?

What is the "proper" way to pass in parameters?

Code snippet below (pieces have been removed that aren't relevant)...

I am passing in the login parameters in the [TestMethod] itself, and not in the LoginPage class object. Is that the right way to do this? Or, should I be passing the strings into the LoginPage class itself? (I realized there are other ways where I don't need to hard-code anywhere, but I am strictly referring to this hard-code scenario)

class LoginPage
{

    IWebDriver driver;

    By username = By.Id("user_login");
    By password = By.XPath(".//*[@id='user_pass']");
    By loginButton = By.Name("wp-submit");


    public void loginToWordpress(string userid, string pass)
    {
        driver.FindElement(username).SendKeys(userid);
        driver.FindElement(password).SendKeys(pass);
    }


}

and the corresponding test....

   [TestMethod]
        public void assertPageSource()
        {
            LoginPage login = new LoginPage(driver);
            login.loginToWordpress("admin", "demo123");
            login.clickOnLoginButton();
        }

I can think of below ways:

1.@DataProvider annotation from TestNG can be used for passing parameters Here's a good example : https://www.edureka.co/blog/dataprovider-in-testng/

2.Passing parameters using an excel file - you can save the username and passwords in the file(although not the best practice) and use the file for passing parameters. Apache POI is used for reading/writing Excel file in Java, not sure about C#

3.Create a table with usernames and passwords, connect to the table through your code and use the values as parameters
