askpassword

A password prompt that does not print data to the TTY.

import askpassword from 'askpassword';

console.log('Please enter a password:');
const password = await askpassword(process.stdin);
console.log('You entered the following password:', password.toString());

The stream passed to askpassword can be any kind of Readable stream. If it is a TTY, askpassword will temporarily remove all other 'data' and 'readable' listeners from it, and set the TTY into raw mode if it has not been in raw mode to begin with.

Why not use read instead?

Because read does not work inside a Node.js REPL.
