The sshpass don't transport any passwords to the remote server, it 
supplies the password to the local command, in this case sftp.

The transportation of the password is done by sftp (secure ftp), as the 
traffic is encrypted in a similar way as in https, the password is safe 
from prying eyes during the transport from local machine to the remote 
machine.

sftp do support using the traditional ssh keys, then you don't have to 
use sshpass at all. See 
https://filezillapro.com/docs/v3/basic-usage-instructions/ssh-private-keys-for-sftp/ 
for an example how to do this.


The risk with using sshpass, specially if you do it from command line is 
that the command line will be saved in the shell history and someone 
with the right privileges could read the shell history and see the 
password in plain text (sure if you use the ssh key, they could take the 
private key and get access to remote system too).
