    i won't send you any code, but i believe you can print a backspace to the console to hide the character

    don't straight ask for code here...try on your own, then people will help...

    Actually you have to print a backspace and an empty char (or password char) to overwrite the character:
    cout << "\h*" << flush;
    All the buzzt!

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
