Central Endpoint install with a proxy - obfuscated passsord

Hi All - i'm just looking at moving from On-premise to Central. When i install the SophosSetup.exe installer from a command line with the required argumentsfor the proxy " --proxyaddress=Proxy:8080 --proxyusername=Domain\Username --proxypassword=password" which works fine but the username and password supplied are then recorded in plain text in the SophosCloudInstaller.log file.

Is there a way to use an obfuscated password for the Central Cloud installer ?

Thanks in advance.
