# Final Release Note # Description The current way of specifying username and password, `--userpass xxx:yyy` is undesirable as the command line is visible under /proc. There are couple of alternatives (at least until [#105] is implemented): - Allow them to be picked up from stdin, e.g., `--userpass -` would read it from stdin, allowing a command line like `echo $userpass | yottadb -run %ydbgui` which ensures that the authentication credentials are visible neither under /proc nor in a shell history. - Use the mechanism the encryption plugin uses to get the password. # Draft Release Note
