Golang : Get password from console input without echo or masked
Found this package https://github.com/howeyc/gopass that allows Golang developers to build text based application that takes in password without echo(silent mode) or use masking.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/howeyc/gopass"
)
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Enter silent password: ")
silentPassword := gopass.GetPasswd() // Silent
// input is in byte and need to convert to string
// for storing and comparison
fmt.Println(string(silentPassword))
fmt.Printf("Enter masked password: ")
maskedPassword := gopass.GetPasswdMasked() // Masked
fmt.Println(string(maskedPassword))
}
Sample output :
Enter silent password:
abc
Enter masked password: ********
abc12345
