C++ Password mask

I just started messing around with making a password on a simple program. Can anyone here tell me how to, and explain, how to make asterisks appear when the user is enter the password? I searched a little but the few results i found, I didn't completely understand. Thanks

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
          string str1 = "suzuki";
          string password ;
         
       
        do{
          cout << "Enter Password\n";
          getline(cin, password);
         
       
                      if(password != str1)
                      {
                                  cout << "Error, try again\n";
                                  }
                                  }
                                 
                                  while(password != str1);
                     
          int num1, num2;
             
              cout << "Enter a number to add\n";
              cin >> num1;
             
              cout << "Enter a nother num\n";
              cin >> num2;
             
              cout << " Total is " << num1 + num2 << endl;
             
             
             
             
             
              system("pause");
             
              return 0;
              }

You won't be able to use standard cin/cout to mask input. On a quick search it looks like you may need to use the C function getch(). Search for "c++ mask input", and there are plenty of results with people asking for the same thing.

As neandrake says, there is nothing standard to help you do this.

So you need to find some function which is specific to your OS/Compiler to do this.
