Connection Base Hook printing out password in Airflow logs,

See original GitHub issue

I have recently upgraded to airflow:2.1.0.

I am finding the issue of password being printed from within the connection objects in Airflow logs. Earlier they used to be covered with several Xs in the logs.

This should be the source code which causes it to print the password.

@raajpackt Masking happens when tasks are run – where do you have the code that is triggering that behaviour?
