The following code should print "Password: "  on the command line, then get user text input without displaying it on the screen.

<pre>
import getpass
passStr = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
</pre>

It does hide input initially, but on pressing Enter, it then writes the entire password to the screen. (Expected output is nothing at all).
