On multiuser machine, without proc listing restrictions, anyone can do "ps aux" and grab login/password being used.
Process title could be changed (setproctitle python module for example) or better ask for password interactively (getpass.getpass()).
ps. modem here also supports https:// (in addition to http://) connections to its API
