You can include "password=".   Obviously that is otherwise a no no.
But the problem is that you need to pass credentials.   Perhaps
someone else knows how to make it work w/o scribbling the password
into your /etc/fstab file.   I think I understand WHY you get prompted
but I surely don't know how to stop it.
