Request remove "Required Tunnel Password" #719

Description

Currently, LocalTunnel requires entering a password during usage.
This behavior feels unnecessary and inconvenient, especially when running automated scripts or deploying on environments where no interactive input should be required.

Why this is a problem

  • Adds friction for users who simply want to expose their local server.
  • Other tunneling tools usually do not require a password for normal usage.
  • Inconvenient for friends/users when accessing.

Suggested Solution

  • Remove the password prompt entirely.
  • Or, make it optional (e.g., controlled by a flag like --no-password).

Additional context

LocalTunnel is great for quickly sharing a local service, but this password step reduces usability.
Making it optional would improve developer experience significantly.

Thanks for considering!
