How do I maintain secure email username and password RRS feed

    I'm using Visual Studio 2017 and SQL Server 2014, VB.

    I have a built in feature where I'm automatically notified by email of certain user activity.  The problem is the email from, username and password are clearly visible in some of the .aspx, .aspx.vb and .config files.  The network host should also be hidden from users.  Is there a way for me to "hide" this information.  A section of the .config file is shown below.

        <mailSettings>
          <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="********@*********.net">
            <network host="smtp.***.*****.com" userName="********@*********.net" password="**********" port="587" enableSsl="true"/>
          </smtp>
        </mailSettings>
