how do I hide the password under asterisks?
I have this code:
Code: Select all
set /p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==123456 goto FAIL
but as I write this password is visible .... How do I hide?
Thanks, Walter4991

Code: Select all
set "hash="
set /p "pass=>"
for /f %%a in ('echo.^|md5.exe -d%pass% 2^>nul') do set "hash=%%a"
if NOT "%hash%"=="E10ADC3949BA59ABBE56E057F20F883E" goto FAIL
Note: md5-hashing isn't absolute protection

Password requests in a batch file are senseless and there is nothing you could do to change this fact. Thats why hiding the input behind asterisks is not provided.
If you're kinda bored, you can play around:
