I use iTerm2, in pretty sensitive environments, where 'OK, you didn't enable this feature', closely followed by 'not that we had Internet access here anyway, LOL' were (though-experimentally, as are all the 'concerns' of 'some users') eclipsed by 'hey, why is it a thing to enter sensitive data on command lines anyway -- should we not have ways to avoid that?'
