Hide Password Characters at CLI in Windows

1 New Member
I'm writing a script for CLI on a windows server that needs the password characters hidden or masked from the user. I've found information on how to do it in a Unix Shell but not in a Windows MS-DOS environment.

All I need is the characters typed at the CLI to be hidden or masked with say a ' * '.

Any ideas?

Hi, When entering a password we don't really see the characters - we see **** instead. How can I write such a routine in C? How can I 'echo off' the inputs? How can I get a characters/strings from the keyboard without typing them and ENTER at the end? Like read(kbd,...) in BASIC? I am running mingw on an XP platform, Thanks,

We have a case where users who are encouraged to have good passwords with norwegian characters and other special characters cannot login to a ASP.NET 1.0 app. This problem is discussed in the following article from MSKB: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_835388.aspx Do you know if this problem is fixed in later versions of the framework? I.e. servicepacks, 1.1 or 2.0.
