How do I capture user input from the command line without echoing back the characters that the user types. I want to use this to capture a password. Like getpass.getpass in Python.
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var password string
fmt.Scanln(&password)
}
There is no helper function in the standard library for this.
You have to create your own, or use an existing one like gopass (supports windows, unix, bsd).
Using gopass: (example taken from their website)
微信扫一扫import "fmt"
import "github.com/howeyc/gopass"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Password: ")
pass := gopass.GetPasswd() // Silent, for *'s use gopass.GetPasswdMasked()
// Do something with pass
}
