Comment:

 Suggestion: The best way might be to use a password file. A standard
 approach for this is used by e.g. i.modis:

 See "netrc" related code here:

 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-
 addons/grass7/imagery/i.modis/i.modis.download/i.modis.download.py#L193

 Note: Credentials are obtained from such a .netrc file also by wget, ftp
 and other software.
