Thanks for the apt-file tip. I was hoping to find systemd-ask-password command execution in this file so that I could omit `--echo` switch (I'm thinking it's there as user input is echoed by default). But instead systemd-tty-ask-password-agent [0] gets executed from that file which doesn't accept `--echo` as a flag.

I can read up more on that and can create a new file but now not so sure what to put there.
