Hello Jason,

Please, look at the stork-tool CLI help or man:

    --db-password value        The database password to be used for 
database connections; it is recommended to provide this value using an 
environment variable or leave it empty to type it in the safe prompt. 
[$STORK_DATABASE_PASSWORD]

This argument (--db-password) and environment variable 
(STORK_DATABASE_PASSWORD) are supported by the "db-create" command of 
stork-tool that can create a Stork user. You can also create a user on 
your own using the "psql" executable or the "createuser" utility from 
the "postgresql-common" package.

Regards,
Slawek Figiel
