How does a connection get its SecureString? Can you inject one for test purposes, saving a reference to it?

The question is a bit .Net specific.
Assuming the simple case, where I have a type which wraps a internal IDisposable member.
class Connection
{
?? private SecureString password;
}
SecureString is Disposable. That mandates that Connection should have a Dispose method, which should dispose its members.
Options:
* To know whether the internal member has been disposed, I'd have to expose it (so that the unit test can see it). Doesn't feel right to me.
* The other hack would be to promote it from private to internal + use the InternalVisibleTo path to access it.
Does anyone have something better ?
