Ataullay i dont know why we are using. But i am sure that it is not mandatory. We can skip this from the connection string.
Thanks

It is not mandatory to include this & the default value is false

Persist Security Info

When set to 'false', security-sensitive information, such as the password, is not returned as part of the connection if the connection is open or has ever been in an open state. Resetting the connection string resets all connection string values including the password.

HTH,
