• What worked for me:

    - create the package with the wizard using "Do not save sensitive data";

    - import the package to Visual Studio Management;

    - right click on the package and "View Code";

    - find the connection string, in my case Oracle:

    <DTS:Property DTS:Name="ConnectionString">Data Source=Oracledb;User ID=userDB;Provider=MSDAORA.1;Persist Security Info=True;</DTS:Property></DTS:ConnectionManager></DTS:ObjectData></DTS:ConnectionManager>

    - modify the string by adding "Password=userPassword"

    - save the package;

    In my case this eliminated the null password problem, not to mention that, the password in not visible in the connection string.

    Hope it works for you!
