Encrypting a value inside bash script

#!/bin/bash
USERNAME='user'
PASSWORD='1234567890'

printf "$USERNAME\n$PASSWORD" | connect address

How do I encrpyt or hide the value for PASSWORD so that one can't open this bash script file and see the username and password?

If you dont want people to open your code you can make a binary from that script:

$ sudo apt install shc     # for debian or debian based
$ shc -f script.sh
$ ls -l script.sh.x
