Thread: Password replace with * on entry

Hi,
I'm trying to write a code that on cin of a password it must not show the exact password but type the symbol *..

I'm trying to look for a function that can replace the entry on input with a symbol *

please help

Not possible with standard C++. This has been asked million times already. Use the search function.

You can use getchar() to that effect though

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/c...o/getchar.html

Using the example code from that website, before the line

Code:

putchar (c);

put

Code:

c = '*';

This question seems vaguely familiar... Perhaps if there were some means by which to traverse the forums to possibly find a question that may have been previously asked...
