Description

Currently, passwords are being queried for even when --password-alias is provided during job creation.

https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/SqoopOptions.java#L750

  private void writePasswordProperty(Properties props) {
    if (getPasswordFilePath() != null) { // short-circuit
      putProperty(props, "db.password.file", getPasswordFilePath());
      return;
    }

    if (this.getConf().getBoolean(
      METASTORE_PASSWORD_KEY, METASTORE_PASSWORD_DEFAULT)) {
      // If the user specifies, we may store the password in the metastore.
      putProperty(props, "db.password", this.password);
      putProperty(props, "db.require.password", "false");
    } else if (this.password != null) {
      // Otherwise, if the user has set a password, we just record
      // a flag stating that the password will need to be reentered.
      putProperty(props, "db.require.password", "true");
    } else {
      // No password saved or required.
      putProperty(props, "db.require.password", "false");
    }
  }

We should be aware of `db.password.alias` and set `db.require.password` appropriately.
