Looking at the code (getpass() in user.c)... i'm not sure. It uses
getc(stdin) to reach char by char, but doesn't seem to do anything unusual
with the stream. Ah... that's the Windows/Android impl. On unix it uses
getpass(3) (unistd.h), which might do something weird to prohibit piping in
input.
NAME
getpass - get a password
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
char *getpass( const char *prompt);
...
DESCRIPTION
This function is obsolete. Do not use it. If you want to read
input without terminal echoing enabled, see the
description of the ECHO flag in termios(3).
