From 814bbf95ea9fd98af4c41938c40a4235a3e478c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2012 20:19:02 +0200 Subject: No echo mode. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a --no-echo flag to the insert operation so that the password isn't echoed when entering it. This requires the user to echo the password twice for confirmation.
