Getting password using getPass isn't working for me

Question

My code :

from getpass import getpass
def display_credentials():
    website = input("Enter the name of the website:")
    password = getpass("Enter master password: ")
    print(website)
    print(password)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    display_credentials()

Output: Enter the name of the website:yahoo

Question: The next line does not get executed at all. Not sure what's the error here. I want the next line to be executed(asking password) after I input the name of website.

How are you running this exactly? What OS/console/terminal? – deceze Oct 28 '20 at 15:50 — deceze, Oct 28 '20 at 15:50
I'm using pycharm to run the code – Developing_brain Oct 28 '20 at 15:53 — Developing_brain, Oct 28 '20 at 15:53

It's working in console.

May be the problem you have is that you are launching it via PyCharm or any other IDE, which has it's own console (and is not the console used by getpass)

Running the code via a command prompt should work

Thank you! Yes, it worked fine when I ran the code via command prompt. – Developing_brain Oct 28 '20 at 15:58
