Bug Description

The instruction for setting up OpenRC environment variables should have a more pronounced warning and indicate the implications of having OS_PASSWORD in a plaintext file. New operators who copy and paste from the installation guide may accidentally leave the OS_PASSWORD in an rc file.

1 - Can you please move the "warning" message above the code snippet?
2 - Inline in the code snippet, can you please add comment to the right of OS_PASSWORD calling out security?
