[issue32884] Adding the ability for getpass to print asterisks when password is typed

[Andrei Kulakov]

Andrei Kulakov  added the comment:

Unfortunately modern laptop keyboards have almost no key travel and barely any 
tactile feedback [*]. Users on such keyboards really do need feedback for each 
key pressed. Not providing an option for such feedback is in effect forcing 
users to choose maximally weak password.

[*] worse, a large proportion of MBP keyboards produced in the last few years 
have the notoriously bad 'butterfly' key design that occasionally duplicates 
and swallows keypresses. Yes, a trillion dollar company can't make a functional 
keyboard.

This is easy to implement for Windows (as shown), but the unix implementation 
uses io.TextIOWrapper.readline() to get the password input.  The unix 
implementation would have to be rewritten to provide the same functionality.
