You need the getpass() function. I use one from a libc windows
porting.
You can add something like this to win32.c:
---
char *
getpass (const char * prompt)
{
static char input[256];
HANDLE in;
HANDLE err;
DWORD count;
in = GetStdHandle (STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
err = GetStdHandle (STD_ERROR_HANDLE);
if (in == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE || err == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
return NULL;
if (WriteFile (err, prompt, strlen (prompt), &count, NULL))
{
int istty = (GetFileType (in) == FILE_TYPE_CHAR);
DWORD old_flags;
int rc;
if (istty)
{
if (GetConsoleMode (in, &old_flags))
SetConsoleMode (in, ENABLE_LINE_INPUT
|
ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT);
else
istty = 0;
}
rc = ReadFile (in, input, sizeof (input), &count,
NULL);
if (count >= 2 && input[count - 2] == '\r')
input[count - 2] = '\0';
else
{
char buf[256];
while (ReadFile (in, buf, sizeof (buf),
&count,
NULL) > 0)
if (count >= 2 && buf[count - 2] ==
'\r')
break;
}
WriteFile (err, "\r\n", 2, &count, NULL);
if (istty)
SetConsoleMode (in, old_flags);
if (rc)
return input;
}
return NULL;
}

Also remember to uncomment or insert if missing "#define HAVE_GETPASS
1"
in config-win32.h. Recompile and enjoy ;)

Is it possible to include this feature in next version?
