So you pass passwords on the command line? Again, an example is really
overdue.

There need to be many prerequisites to offer a safe password prompt.
I'm sure you've never used explicit_bzero before and have questionable
model of security in your mind if you really propose this "solution".
In the end, with this talk, you only humour yourself. And give a bloody
answer to my question already. I want to see a real example, a real
program that actually _exists_ which takes passwords on the command
line, or an example where you use dmenu to enter passwords in some
"dynamic" context not observable to me at the moment.
