This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.
In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

We've found that the following regex can catch these in the logs: node\.session\.auth\.password.* It's a debug level log message, so this issue can be avoided by turning off debug logging in production. However, since it's a command that gets executed with sudo, it ends up in /var/log/auth.log by default too. We'd like to fix this problem at the source by not executing a command that contains the password. Is there any other way to update the record?
