**** PassWord

[kadoushka]

I want to make a password script in python that changes my input to *,
so when i type 1234 you can only see ****

pa=getpass.getpass("Password: "), i can't see how many characters i typed
pa=raw_input("Password: ")         , i can see exactly what i typed

[sparkz_alot]

Please post the code you've written so far and any error codes.

You might want to look at getpass. It doesn't print out
anything at all
[python]
import getpass
zz = getpass.getpass('Please enter your well thought out password: ')
[/password]

OP mentioned that he already tried both raw_input() and getpass.getpass() and neither one does what he wants - to echo passwords with "*' while typing. Little googling reveals that it is not so easy (platform dependent) and How to read password with echo “*” in Python console program? shows solution by modifiing getpass implementation (windows only).

getpass is a module in the standard lib, it is 100% python code.  Here's the source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3...getpass.py

It uses getch, which gets a single character from input instead of a whole line.  In order to do so without also echoing what you type, it uses a different method depending on your operating system.  So, I copied a lot of that, and changed it a bit to ALSO echo out an asterisk while waiting for input.

import sys

def _find_getch():
    try:
        import termios
    except ImportError:
        # Non-POSIX. Return msvcrt's (Windows') getch.
        import msvcrt
        return msvcrt.getch

    # POSIX system. Create and return a getch that manipulates the tty.
    import tty
    def _getch():
        fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
        old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
        try:
            tty.setraw(fd)
            ch = sys.stdin.read(1)
        finally:
            termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)
        return ch

    return _getch

getch = _find_getch()

pword = ''
ch = 'spam'
# keep looping until "enter" is hit
while ch not in '\r\n':
    ch = getch().decode()
    pword += ch

    print('*', end='')
    # we need to flush, or else the asterisks won't appear
    # until after the password is finished getting entered
    sys.stdout.flush()
# add a newline after the asterisks
print()

# prove that we actually got something
print(pword)

Output:

It also...
1) isn't in code tags,
2) doesn't do what the OP was looking for.

from prompt_toolkit import prompt
import getpass

name = prompt("Username: ")
passwd = prompt("Password: ", is_password=True)

if name.lower() != 'Agent Smith' and passwd != 'scaryface':
    print("\nValidation failed! Exterminate! Exterminate!")

Output:
Username: Agent Smith
Password: ******************

Validation failed! Exterminate! Exterminate!

from prompt_toolkit import prompt
import getpass

name = prompt("Username: ")
passwd = prompt("Password: ", is_password=True)

if name.lower() != 'Agent Smith' and passwd != 'scaryface':
    print("\nValidation failed! Exterminate! Exterminate!")

Output:
Username: Agent Smith
Password: ******************

Validation failed! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Note if using python2.x you also have to

from __future__ import unicode_literals

I like that lib, never heard of it before :)

Yes but I don't use Python 2 and no one should.
