getpass

Get a password from the terminal. Sounds simple? Sounds like the readline
module should be able to do it? NOPE.


Install and use it

npm install --save getpass


const mod_getpass = require('getpass');


API


mod_getpass.getPass([options, ]callback)


Gets a password from the terminal. If available, this uses /dev/tty to avoid
interfering with any data being piped in or out of stdio.

This function prints a prompt (by default Password:) and then accepts input
without echoing.

Parameters:


options, an Object, with properties:


prompt, an optional String


callback, a Func(error, password), with arguments:


error, either null (no error) or an Error instance

password, a String
