getpass

Get a password from the terminal. Sounds simple? Sounds like the readline module should be able to do it? NOPE.

Install and use it

npm install --save getpass

const mod_getpass = require('getpass');

Gets a password from the terminal. If available, this uses /dev/tty to avoid interfering with any data being piped in or out of stdio.

This function prints a prompt (by default Password:) and then accepts input without echoing.

Parameters:

options, an Object, with properties:
- prompt, an optional String
callback, a Func(error, password), with arguments:
- error, either null (no error) or an Error instance
- password, a String
