UPS Package Tracking API - how not to set a password?

It seems that sending this request with every XML request is the only way to use the UPS tracking API:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<AccessRequest xml:lang='en-US'> <AccessLicenseNumber>
YOURACCESSLICENSENUMBER
</AccessLicenseNumber> <UserId>
YOURUSERID
</UserId> <Password>
YOURPASSWORD
</Password> </AccessRequest>

Therefore, you cannot use it in a desktop application because your users will be able to find your password. And yes, I could run the backend on my own server, but it's uselessly complicated. Does the UPS provide a reasonable authentication method without having to insert a copy of the password in every copy of my application?
