5 years ago Options I can think of for password entry:
- Wrap with omero-cli and pass via a pipe
- Login via cli and the re-use the session file
- https://github.com/hyperic/sigar/blob/master/bindings/java/src/org/hyperic/sigar/test/GetPass.java
- see how jython does it? https://www.jython.org/docs/library/getpass.html
Of course, a 700 file would also work.

Command line arguments are visible on the list of processes. because of that, it's not recommended to enter secrets such as passwords or session keys in that manner.
I understand that it can be convenient to do it anyway. However, it would be nice if there was a method to use omero downloader without doing that (we had a user that just got his account suspended for using omero downloader on our shared systems).
