The reason you needed to type something before the password prompt would appear is you forgot to add flush=True in the print statement

Sweet. Another video that can come in handy in the future.

For anyone interested in an alternative, you can also import a module called stdiomask.

import stdiomask

passwd = stdiomask.getpass("password: ", '*')

8:09 to fix that i think you need to flush after printing the message

[rycarr]

In C++ when intercepting characters we needed to flush the buffer. Because it would catch the end line input from your username input. That’s probably what’s holding up your Python code as well.

We’d handle it using getch.ignore()

I tryed myself, i didn't know about flush in print function, works fine if you put flush in first print too

[tuanazzam]

Nope, pip install getch is not working for python 3.9. Maybe it's too old.

what is nv? looks like a text editor but I couldn't find anything the net.

This is my error when importing getch. -> Import "getch" could not be resolved
