Are you sure? passphrases are NOT echoed as a security feature, 
so normally you don't see anything but it DOES accept the data.

If you are sure it actually isn't getting what you typed, 
this area (no-echo tty input) is platform dependent, so 
identify your platform and build options, and version.
