Tested on Raspbian Stretch.

Never store your password as plain text on a Raspberry Pi file system. Generate a password hash

echo -n password_in_plaintext | iconv -t utf16le | openssl md4

Take the 32 character long code and replace the X's in the password line of the template wpa_supplicant.conf
Also update the ssid and identity fields with the correct information.

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Ctrl - O followed by Enter to save, and Ctrl - X to quit from nano
Apply the config and the Raspberry Pi should connect after a moment

wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure

Clear the command line history to remove a record of your password being typed into the terminal

history -c
rm ~/.bash_history
