Is there anyway to have gnus automatically send the required password when
logging on to a news server? I'm tired of having to look up the monstrosity
of a password that my news server uses. (And, no, unfortunately, it can't be
changed to something easier).

Yes. Put a line like this in your ~/.authinfo:
machine your.news.server login yourlogin password yourpassword force yes
See <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_153.html#SEC153> for details.
Best regards,
