For comparison, Bash stores command history in ~/.bash_history and it also preserves passwords. We should support a no-echo version of the "mask" command so users never have to enter passwords in plain-text. Then they can use the masked password in all their commands, or perhaps set credentials in the shell session so commands will simply inherit them.
