feature request: to not showing asterisk at all #642

Closed xnuk closed 2 months ago

xnuk commented 2 months ago

Same request was #282 (which was rejected). I hope something like bash -c 'read -s -p "Password: " password', which does not move cursor and does not show asterisk at all.

We don't need a specific option to achieve this, simply replace the asterisk character by a space in the config

Since Zig rewrite (1.0.0), asterisk = cannot set to a space character. Because, well, INI format, you know.

but I mean, space is visible by cursor movement to the right, so that it is not too hard to guess the length of the password.

Cursor still moves both 1.0 and 0.x.

@xnuk This is a duplicate of issue #637.
