That is a true risk. On most systems[*] curl's command line options that might
contain passwords are hidden to others. And either way, you can provide the
name and password in another way that hides it from the command line, like
using a config file (passed to -K) or in a .netrc file (enabled with -n).

[*] = not all systems allow this
