Prevent copy / get data from hidden sheet

Situation

My xlveryhidden sheet name is "LOGIN PASSWORD" & Sheet is password protected and Workbook structure protected

I have data in A1 in "LOGIN PASSWORD" Sheet as "12345LQ"

if I put formula from any other sheet like =LOGIN PASSWORD!A1

It shows 12345LQ

How to prevent it from showing 12345LQ


Thanks in advance

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
As far as I know, you cannot stop someone from doing that.

If you have data in a sheet that you do not want users to have access to then why put the sheet in the workbook?

Sir,
I have no. of sheets , each sheet has password protected to open by specific user to update their data ,which others do not open

the username and password have been stored in the xlveryhidden sheet , using login userform with username and password

If your using that in VBA, why not hard code the passwords in the macro, rather than putting them on a sheet?
