Once again -P has nothing to do with password. Also --password does not 
take an argument, it is meant to be used as is. The purpose is to force 
a password prompt. This is all spelled out here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-psql.html

Also spelled out in above is:

" It is also convenient to have a ~/.pgpass file to avoid regularly 
having to type in passwords. See Section 33.15 for more information."

And Section 33.15:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/libpq-pgpass.html

"The file .pgpass in a user's home directory can contain passwords to be 
used if the connection requires a password (and no password has been 
specified otherwise).  ..."

Read more at link for how to do that.
