hidden -- no. if requirement pass password in url,
the url visible. other personal choice of not displaying
the url tool bar can switched under view -> tool bars
menu. not programmer can enforce on user.

encrypted -- yes. can scramble , encrypt value in many
manners. of course require system receiving value
understand how password scrambled , encrypted.
depend on capabilities hyperion system has.
