I usually use encrypted properties. But it's possible to embed secret 
things in scripts even if the stack's locked:

function getSecretThing pType
   switch pType
   case "password"
     return "mypass"
     break
   case "username"
     return "mrEd"
     break
   case "keysToKingdom"
     return "aHorse"
     break
   end switch
end getSecretThing

It only works if the secret things don't change though.
