How to Pass Username and Password in cURL Commands Safely?

If you’re worried about logging, you can use `--silent` or `--stderr -` with curl to avoid printing sensitive info to the terminal. Combine that with environment variables, and you’re golden.

Also, check out `curl`’s `--proxy-user` option if you’re dealing with proxies. It’s similar to `--user` but for proxy auth. Just make sure to handle it securely like you would with curl username password.
