How do I hide the password on console ?

[ujjwal_rp]

I m writing a C program which requires a password to be typed on a console. How do I make the password appear as "****" ?

[dimm_coder]

Read about _getch() (or smth similar).

for ex. read one char but type '*' to echo:

char ch = _getch();
_putch('*');

ps. Ussualy in Unix telnet sessions '*' not puts in output for input char, so noone can see number of chars in password.
