Dear all, I am trying to get a user name in the first input and get the password for the 2nd Input. Now, I am facing a problem to mask the password. Does anyone know how not to reveal it when user is keying in the password? It will be something like this: @echo off set INPUT= set /P INPUT=Username: %=% set /P INPUT2=password: %=% if "%INPUT%"=="" goto input echo Your Name was: %INPUT% Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any 'native' way to hide keystrokes. BTW, you don't have a label :input to goto. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

You'll need to use a scripting language that can control the terminal. Here's a Perl example. ==================================================== #!perl use Term::ReadKey; print "What's your name? "; chomp($name = <STDIN>); ReadMode 2; print "What's the password? "; chomp($password = <STDIN>); ReadMode 0; print "\nSorry $name, but '$password' is the wrong password, good bye.\n";
