Hi All,

I'm working on a script that needs to prompt the user to enter a password. I could do this but i do not know how to have prompt that the user input would be invisible. I realy had a hard time finding the solution. Hope you guys can help me. Thank you very much. God bless.

Try something like this:

echo -n "Enter password: "
stty -echo
read PASSWORD
stty echo
echo
echo "Your pasword is $PASSWORD"

Best regards.
