What You Are Seeing?

When passing --user and --password options to Chocolatey CLI, the parameters can be seen when viewing the arguments in Chocolatey GUI.

When passing sensitive inputs through Chocolatey CLI, users should not be able to see those arguments by viewing the package arguments in the GUI.
