TASK [Show ansible_password] *******************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [10.10.10.10] => {
“msg”: “Password = 0”

This is a limitation of the ini format, # is considered a comment and you cannot really override that, use YAML instead, also I recommend using a vault for the password.
