> 5. Rightfully mentions that you should not put a plaintext password on the CLI, then proceeds to recommend you use pass in a way that puts the password back in plaintext on the CLI via a subshell which is still totally plaintext in the proc filesystem, in ps, etc, to all processes on the system running as any user.

Not to mention that the password will also get stored in plaintext in the shell's history file if the shell is in interactive mode.
