Thank you sir and I am sorry for the typo not having "--" on password.
I did spelling out with --password=mypassword
Please go back and read my post again.

even -W for password

none of them work, still prompt me for password to type in. I will look
into the pgpassfile which I know it will fail again.

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.
