Description

The -p flag can be used with any command in pulp-admin to either pass a password to be used with a username, or to ask pulp-admin to prompt you for a password if one is not specified.

It seems that pulp-admin auth user update also accepts a -p flag! And bizarrely, you can use both -p's in the same command, which is very confusing. Sadly, I think fixing this might have to wait for a major release.

For example, here is how you might use the -p flag twice in the same invocation of pulp-admin for different meanings:

$ pulp-admin -u admin -p admin  auth user update --login test-user -p

Here are the relevant help texts for the two uses:

$ pulp-admin --help
Usage: pulp-admin [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
                        username for the Pulp server; if used will bypass the
                        stored certificate and override a username specified
                        in ~/.pulp/admin.conf
  -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
                        password for the Pulp server; must be used with
                        --username. if used will bypass the stored certificate
                        and override a password specified in
                        ~/.pulp/admin.conf
  --config=CONFIG       absolute path to the configuration file
  --map                 prints a map of the CLI sections and commands
  -v                    enables verbose output; use twice for increased
                        verbosity with debug information

I noticed this when doing pull request review for #1058 where I saw this command being used in the bug report:
