Description

Enable entering the password through standard input or by being prompted for it? sqlcmd users are generally accustomed to the password prompt in interactive mode, and ci/cd pipelines that use Azure CLI can pipe a password to az devops login directly using stdin. We could offer both models as well.

Research direction

Start by tracing the sqlcmd command path responsible for password-based login and review how it currently receives credentials. Compare the existing behavior with interactive prompting and stdin input, then verify that both requested input modes work without breaking the current flow.
