If so, then won't the password be revealed by ps while eval is

I do not know the most efficacious way to see the ps output in real time
as eval runs. With a bit of trial and error (scrypt is slow enough to
switch to another console and use ps) I captured
23266 pts/7 R+ 0:00 mpw -q -F -M
-t railcard
in its output. mpw is the basic command executed by myscript. Switches
are shown but not parameters. -M is the very important one. The gap
would be occupied by the passphrase.
Is it possible that ps output does not show parameters to switches?
The -f option for ps(1) appears to display options and option values:
