Crate readpass

Expand description

A tiny library for reading passwords without displaying them on the terminal. Works on Unix-like OSes and Windows.

§Usage

Read a password:

 let passwd = readpass::from_tty()?;

If you want to display a prompt, print it to stdout or stderr before reading:

 use std::io::{self, Write};

 write!(io::stderr(), "Please enter a password: ")?;
 let passwd = readpass::from_tty()?;

Strings returned by readpass are wrapped in Zeroizing to ensure the password is zeroized from memory after it’s Dropped.
