mosquitto_sub -P password

Can you make it so if the -P switch is specified without a password then it gives a password prompt rather than requiring the password on the command line? This would make it work similar to how mysql does it. That way you don't risk someone shoulder surfing and seeing the password or having it show up in the Bash history possibly.

Also a -A switch was nice, where authentication is read from a file, similar as samba smbclient does it; that would then cover scripts that can be seen in ps in addition to the command line!
