I have gone through following article, I am not certain which one is correct way to choose, my requirements are it should not prompt for credentials as per following screenshot rather script should take credentials itself & it should not contain plain text (highly secured) , is there any way to achieve this?

Interactive, use weblogin all these are prompting for credentials it should not be. Please help & PFA,

    Hi @sns
    If you do not want to use the prompt and write user name and password in the command, you could use example 3: 

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://contoso.sharepoint.de" -ClientId 344b8aab-389c-4e4a-8fa1-4c1ae2c0a60d -ClientSecret $clientSecret

    For more details, you could refer to this article and follow it step by step until "Using this principal with PnP PowerShell":
