When we type password in websites ,we see * or . instead of characters.How can this be made possible with c++.Suppose I am trying to input password through stdin and at the same time I am storing it in a char array and deleting the character input by the user and outputing * instead.I think deleting the character is the trick here.But how do we delete a character after having printed it via stdout.
Read the key with
_getch()(header<conio.h>), save/process it, and print ‘*’ character instead of it.<conio.h>is available only on Windows afaik, though.
