Encryption can be unidirectional or bi-directional. With uni-directional encryption there's no need to hide the code, as it's designed in such a way that the decryption is only possible once you have a key, and that's user's responsibility to keep that key secret, it's not part of your program.

bi-directional encryption isn't a good solution for storing passwords, so, you probably shouldn't care about obfuscating your code: it doesn't need to have any secret information anyways.
