Full Discussion: Masking Password with *'s
Top Forums Programming Masking Password with *'s Post 302481686 by bigdrock44 on Sunday 19th of December 2010 07:23:03 AM

Okay so I tried including the headers you said and the first one worked, except it had issues with the reference to "fileno". However, I tried your simplified code and it seems to work... kinda. I could be wrong but is this code reading the password into an array at all? Or is it just covering it up with *'s?
