I'm working on a project which signs into your email account for you using python 3. I can't install getpass.getpass() and I couldn't find a good site that would have a solution. I'm trying to hide the user input on the password input so nobody could see it. Ex.

username = input("Enter your username/n")

password = input("Enter your password:/n") # I can't figure out how to hide the input on this line.

You're looking for [getpass](https://docs.python.org/3/library/getpass.html) – tyteen4a03 Nov 30 '17 at 14:50
There's another method at the bottom of the duplicate. Also, why can't you install getpass? – c2huc2hu Nov 30 '17 at 14:52

You don't have to install `getpass`. That's part of the standard library. – Matthias Nov 30 '17 at 14:52
I can't install it because I'm using an application called WinPython and getpass won't install for some reason. – Hayden Cogburn Nov 30 '17 at 18:49
