What is your suggestion?

Instead of having templates prompt users for secrets, we should useTerraform auth.

Why do you want this feature?

It will solve two issues reported by a user:

• "Never show secrets like AWS keys shown as text on a terminal screen. They should be masked."
• "It should have picked up my AWS profile in my shell environment but it didn't."

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

No, just use product as is.

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Maybe with some guidance.
