Support password masking in getpass.getpass() Currently, getpass.getpass() hides all user input when entering a password. This can throw off non-Unix users who are used to passwords being masked with asterisks *. This has led some users to write their own libraries for this functionality. Proposal: - Add an optional argument to `getpass.getpass()` for a character to mask user input Usage Example: > import getpass > password = getpass.getpass(mask='*') Password: ********** > password = getpass.getpass() Password: ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 339671 nosy: stevoisiak priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support password masking in getpass.getpass() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36566> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
