2 years ago I'm sorry but that is just a shortcoming of the method and not something easily fixed. I have considered figuring out how to use an askpass helper but have not done the work.
I've tried both brew install and brew cask scripts with a couple of applications that require a password during install. Here's what I get:
Script result: microsoft-word is either not installed or not available. Attempting installation... ==> Downloading https://officecdnmac.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/MacAutoupdate/Microsoft_Word_16.61.22050700_Installer.pkg Already downloaded: /Users/username/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/fab80e3beb26469b81f3240a95aebb6eb00185df6067410e127aa56bcaf8dc3f--Microsoft_Word_16.61.22050700_Installer.pkg All formula dependencies satisfied. ==> Installing Cask microsoft-word ==> Running installer for microsoft-word; your password may be necessary.

The account I'm testing with is set up correctly and can install an app using brew install --cask or brew install.
