title: Django send_mail security password
body: <p>I am trying to send an email from an app, however in my settings it asks to put the EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD and although it worked, how can you protect it from being viewed it GitHub or when it's deployed? </p>
  
  <pre><code>settings.py:  
  EMAIL_HOST='smtp.gmail.com'
  EMAIL_HOST_USER='lala@gmail.com'
  EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=''
  EMAIL_PORT=587
  EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
  EMAIL_BACKEND='django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
  
  Views.py:
  def contact(request):
      if request.method=='POST':
          message=request.POST['message']
  
          send_mail('Contact Form', 
          message,
          settings.EMAIL_HOST_USER,
          ['lala@gmail.com'],
          fail_silently=False)
      return render(request, 'first_app/contact.html')
