Crate rpassword 

This library makes it easy to read passwords in a console application on all platforms, Unix, Windows, WASM, etc.

Here’s how you can read a password:

let password = rpassword::read_password().unwrap();
println!("Your password is {}", password);

You can also prompt for a password:

let password = rpassword::prompt_password("Your password: ").unwrap();
println!("Your password is {}", password);

For testing or custom use-cases, you can use read_password_with_config and prompt_password_with_config:

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

let config = rpassword::ConfigBuilder::new()
    // Default input is the console, but we can pass any file path or raw data
    .input_data("my-password\n")
    // Default output is the console, but we can also discard it
    .output_discard()
    // Default behavior is to hide the password as it's being typed, but we can change that
    .password_feedback_mask('*')
    .build();

let password = rpassword::read_password_with_config(config).unwrap();
println!("Your password is {}", password);
