Remove plain-text password from app.config connection string

$

Hi folks

Some time ago I set up a DB connection in a vb.net windows forms project in VS 2010. I think I remember some pop--up asking me about storage of the password but I didnt matter at the time so I clicked cancel/no.

Now I have the password stored in plain-text in the app.config file and now it does matter :blush:. I took a quick look on Google but it seemed like their was an avalanche of info on hashing, salting, etc (like making breakfast). I just want to get back to that wizard that wanted to do the standard approach for me.

Have I mis-remembered, is there no such wizard/option? If there is where do I find it in VS?

Thanks
