readpass
a Go package for reading passwords safely.
readpass provides an interface for reading passwords from the
console securely. Thanks to code from
Matt Silverlock, it no longer requires
cgo.
An example program is included under in the example/example.go
program; it reads a line of text and prints the length.
CAVEATS
- Windows may or may not supported; I don't have the resources to test this.
