HIDING ECHO
If you dont want to display what you type
on the screen, then use the command below:
% stty -echo
This will not echo back the character you
type on the terminal.
To echo back the character you typed:
% stty echo
You can use stty -echo while reading

so that the password wont be echoed
on the screen.
