Get password from input using node.js

December 9, 2023 by Tarik

You can use the read module (disclosure: written by me) for this:

In your shell:

npm install read

Then in your JS:

var read = require('read')
read({ prompt: 'Password: ', silent: true }, function(er, password) {
  console.log('Your password is: %s', password)
})
