Something like that you want ?

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# secret-pw.sh: secret password
echo
echo -n "Enter password "
read passwd
echo "password is $passwd"
echo -n "If someone had been looking over your shoulder, "
echo "your password would have been compromised."
echo && echo # Two line-feeds in an "and list."
stty -echo # Turns off screen echo.
echo -n "Enter password again "
read passwd
echo
echo "password is $passwd"
echo
stty echo
