Well, but think about it... after the password is entered, THEN what? The
"correct" password would have to be stored somewhere so that GnuCash could
verify what is entered is correct, and clearly saving the password in clear
text is not secure. Because the software is open source, anyone could read
the steps taken to secure the password, and that would be a huge help in
breaking the password.
