 Description   

----------------------------

Original Description

Description:

Document how to use passwordPrompt() instead of specifying an explicit password string literal.

Engineering Ticket Description:

When a user is created or when we update a password in the shell, the password is in plain text.

Can we have a way to mask password on user creation? For example, by prompting for the password with echo off.

Such feature could also be implemented on password change.

----------------------------

Description
