If you do not want to store password in clear text, then save it in hashed format -

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mytestdatabase.* TO 'mytestdatabase'@'localhost'
  IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*7560636C2922C05954FE6A2446AA00C84708B57B';

Where hashed password is a result of this query -

SELECT PASSWORD('my password');
