I'm sure theres functions for this but all I can think of now is to use gecth() followed by a backspace (\b I think), then cout a *.
But as I said theres must be a way to hide it.
OR You could set the input color to black
Code:
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0x0000);
Which I did not test but I'm pretty sure its right. This will set all following output to black text, so switch back to normal with
Code:
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0x0007);
edit: FYI You'll need to #include <windows.h>
