You can use a separate password file.

# Format of the password file:

#   [password]               optional "password" token;
#   <FTN address>            address of a link in the form 1:2/3.4@domain

#   <inpwd>                  password for incoming sessions;
#   <pktpwd>                 packet password, used when "share" token
#                            is handled;
#   <outpwd>                 password for outgoing sessions.
# Any password is one word without spaces or tabs. If <pktpwd> or <outpwd>
# is omitted, it will be assumed equal to <inpwd>. If a password is defined for
# a node by the "node" token, then the passwords for the node in the password
# file will be ignored.
