Or, ``unset HISTFILE''. You can do this on a per-session basis, so that
you can just do it every time you accidentally type a password. But of
course, you can just, like you said, ``history -c'' in that case.
I used to have ``unset HISTFILE'' in my bash startup script. I'm not
personally bothered by it anymore---I use sudo for everything, and the
resulting greater caution required (as my sudo logs are intentionally
world-readable) means that I seldom have anything that I need ``wiping
out of the record''.
Your mileage may vary.

P.S. I haven't posted to this list for some years, but seeing as my
kplug folder has, as of now, exactly 40000 new messages, I thought
that was a sign to start reading the list again. Or something.
