List of sensible information for the user

Only username and password are sensible information for the user.

Host, port and database name are not sensible information. Indeed:

1. if they become public, and the database system uses an authentication mechanism, then only the owner can have access to the databases system. They could try to make an attack though
2. if they become public, and the database system does not use an authentication system, then te database become publicly accessible
3. if the become semi-public, and the database system uses an authentication mechanism, then only the owner can have access to the database system. They could try to make an attack though, if someone can read the database of the third-party.
