string = getpass([string])Description
Prompts for and reads a password returning the entered text. The optional argument gives the prompt and defaults to "Password: " if not given.
The use of ICI for security sensitive purposes is not recomended due to the lack of control over the actual lifetime of potential confidential data, i.e, due to garbage collection the string object containing the password may exist in process memory for longer than is desirable.
