Preventing passwords from displaying in clear text in the console output and log files

Overview

It is a good practice to obfuscate or hide passwords from console output and log files. Internal policies or industry regulations may dictate that passwords must not be visible in clear text form within log files. Certain policies allow the encrypted hash value to be displayed for the purpose of debugging, while others dictate that passwords must not appear at all.
