编写CLI：如何避免在屏幕上显示键入的密码[重复]

I'm writing a command line tool with Go and one of the command will query the user for its username and password (and save it to a config file inside the home directory).

For now I couldn't realize how to replace the typed password to '*' or even not to type anything as a lot of command line tools are doing.

How does can this be done when using golang?

Type this stuff into Google before you come here.

you can do this by execing stty -echo to turn off echo and then stty echo after reading in the password to turn it back on

OR

Just saw a mail in #go-nuts maillist. There is someone who wrote quite a simple go package to be used. You can find it here: https://github.com/howeyc/gopass

It something like that:

package main

import "fmt" import "github.com/howeyc/gopass"

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("Password: ")
    pass := gopass.GetPasswd()
    // Do something with pass }
