The correct way to deal with this is to implement passwd like way of changing password. Otherwise, everyone who can see the process list on a node can see this new password. As fast workaround we can simply prevent bash from writing command history.

HISTCONTROL
              A colon-separated list of values controlling how commands are saved on the history list. If the
              list of values includes ignorespace, lines which begin with a space character are not saved in the
              history list. A value of ignoredups causes lines matching the previous history entry to not be
              saved. A value of ignoreboth is shorthand for ignorespace and ignoredups. A value of erasedups
              causes all previous lines matching the current line to be removed from the history list before that
              line is saved. Any value not in the above list is ignored. If HISTCONTROL is unset, or does not
              include a valid value, all lines read by the shell parser are saved on the history list, subject to
              the value of HISTIGNORE. The second and subsequent lines of a multi-line compound command are not
              tested, and are added to the history regardless of the value of HISTCONTROL.

    Change user passwd in CLI using interacive prompt

    `fuel user change-password` now asks for password in interactive
    prompt in unix `passwd` style, which is secure
    comparing with passing new password as an argument to CLI.
    Also tests added.

  --change-password Change user password. WARNING: This method of changing the password is dangerous - it may be saved in bash history.

The help message contains misleading warning - main goal of --change-password is to prevent saving new password in bash history but the help message tells our otherwise. We should move this warning to --newpass.
