Description

Hi,

When i have this error : 'remaining connection slots are reserved for', the password is displayed in clear text in the logs:
`ConnectionParameters(user='', password='', ...`

The usage of `SecretStr`(pydantic) or something equivalent will solve the issue

Start by tracing how ConnectionParameters is represented when the "remaining connection slots are reserved for" error is logged. Check the existing logging and error-handling coverage, then add regression coverage showing that the password is no longer displayed in clear text while the useful connection details remain available.
