az login --password-file

See original GitHub issue

Related command az login

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a bash user logging script output I do not want to inadvertently capture a secret in my logs. To use az login with a password I need to pass the password as an argument. This forces me to load the password into a shell variable which increases the likelihood the password will be captured in a log.

Describe the solution you’d like I’d like az login to support an option --password-file which can be used instead of --password. The value will be a path to a file from which the password can be read.
