Generally moving config.php is a waste of time. It provides no real security measure except if your host does not run PHP anyway and puts your passwords in plain text.

There is no way to mask the password really. There are always ways to obscure it, but easy ways to bypass it because the password eventually needs to be passed to MySQL login.

The security level is either safe mode or not. I suggest asking your host
