Meant to add more explanation onto this but got sidetracked... expect is a third-party language/utility that can use a virtual terminal to get around hardcoded terminal requirements, allowing it to "type" into password prompts and such. But keep in mind that it's intentionally difficult to make a program type in a password prompt because they're designed that way. If your computer has your password on-hand somewhere to type in for you, that's a security nightmare.
