Rustastic Password

rpassword allows you to safely read passwords in a console application on Linux, OSX and Windows.

rpassword is made available free of charge. You can support its development through Liberapay 💪

Usage

Add rpassword as a dependency in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rpassword = "5.0"

Use rpassword within your code:

extern crate rpassword;

fn main() {
    // Prompt for a password on TTY (safest but not always most practical when integrating with other tools or unit testing)
    let pass = rpassword::read_password_from_tty(Some("Password: ")).unwrap();
    println!("Your password is {}", pass);
    
    // Prompt for a password on STDOUT
    let pass = rpassword::prompt_password_stdout("Password: ").unwrap();
    println!("Your password is {}", pass);

    // Prompt for a password on STDERR
    let pass = rpassword::prompt_password_stderr("Password: ").unwrap();
    println!("Your password is {}", pass);

    // Read a password without prompt
    let pass = rpassword::read_password().unwrap();
    println!("Your password is {}", pass);
}
