Masked User Input

v0.2-4 · Dec 10, 2023 · BSD 2-clause License + file LICENSE

Description

A micro-package for reading "passwords", i.e. reading user input with masking, so that the input is not displayed as it is typed. Currently we have support for 'RStudio', the command line (every OS), and any platform where 'tcltk' is present.
