    Question mask password input

    Hi,

    I'm developing a login menu, which requires user id and password.
    How can I mask the password input while it is being input? In other words, only "*" or spaces are shown when password is being input. Is it possible to use scanf?

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
