How to display asterisk when user enters password?

[ALIYU HABIB]

I want to write a code on username and password authentication, but i can't display "*" when entering the password. I am using turbo c++ compiler.

[horace1]

in <conio.h> there is a function getch() which reads the keyboard without echo - you can echo an * yourself

#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream.h>
 
void main(void)
{
    clrscr();
    char c[10];
    char name;
    cout<<"enter your user name "<<endl;
    cin>>name;
    cout<<"enter your password "<<endl;
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
        c[i]=getch();
        printf("*");
    }
 
    cout<<endl;
    cout<<"your password waas"<<endl;
    for(int j=0;j<5;j++)
    {
        cout<<" "<<c[j];
    }
}

i have printed the password also in the last loop that the user has entered just for the verification that it is correct.please remove that last loop it is just to make sure that the correct values are stored in the char array.Here the password length is of 5 characters .But you can change it according to your choice.Ok
