Database Links expose passwords

We have a schema S1 in database D1 which is shared by developers. Developers know its password. We also have a schema S2 in database D2, which is restricted. However, the developers using S1 schema in database D1 need to access tables in S2 schema of database D2, using a database link. If we create a database link in S1 schema, they will be able to see password of S2 by simply running "select * from user_db_links;". How can we set up a database link between D1 database and D2, so that S1 schema can read tables in S2 without exposing password of S2 schema? Thank you in advance.
