Solved Warning: Using a password with '-a' or '-u' option on the command line interface may not be safe.

I've been getting this error message on several apps. I noticed they had stopped responding, and when I try to restart, or stop, then start, it fails/hangs with this error. The apps are Bitwarden, a LAMP app, EspoCRM, and Wallabag.

I've given up on EspoCRM and just uninstalled it. It was more for testing. But I really really need Wallabag back, as well as Bitwarden. Does anyone know what this error means?

This is rather generic, where exactly do you see those warnings? A quick websearch appears to reveal that this may be redis. Can you check the corresponding redis service containers for those apps and maybe restart them? (In redis every app using it, will have its own service)

This is just a warning line from line from redis-cli because we pass the password in the command line. You can ignore it. I don't know when they print a warning when they made a command line option to pass the password in the first place. The errors you are facing is something else. It seems to "pause" only because it's the last line of the redis logs. If you keep the log window open and restart the app, you will see where it is hanging in the logs.

I have fixed the warning now in next release.
