Docs should be updated to note that with --vv or --verbosity=2 or higher, password data (possibly clear-text) may appear in logs. |

We should change docs to reflect that when the debug verbosity is 2 or greater (--verbosity=2, -vv), passwords may end up in the debug logs, and then bump log levels or redact as appropriate. |
