When passing authentication data with either --password or --url, the
data is exposed in the process list, where it can be seen by any user.

Example:
  $ pgrep -a ampq-consume
  62287 amqp-consume --url amqp://user:pass@192.168.0.1 --queue=myqueue

This is an upstream issue. I've filed a pull request upstream that adds
an option --authfile with which authentication data can be read from a file.

Best,
Christian
