Ask for password

When i work in VSCode and I connect to a MongoDB then I can save this connection in the settings.json. This works and this is very nice. But it requires to store the password in the settings-file. Because if you remove the password from the connection-string the VSCode-addon says the password can not be empty. But often you do not want to store sensitive data like password in your settings-file. So it would be very nice if you get asked for the password if you do not specify a password in the connection-string (like it is done by the 'SQLTools MySQL/MariaDB/TiDB'-VSCode-addon for example) instead of an error message.
