Is there an easy way to add a hide password type feature in python code?

Question

I'm creating a program that will require the user to enter a password. Is there a code that I can add in my program that way if someone is sitting behind the user or looking over his/her shoulder they don't see the password on the screen?

Answer 1

Use the built-in getpass module:

>>> import getpass
>>> x = getpass.getpass("enter password: ")
enter password:
>>> print(x)
'test'
