🚩 What is secure_input?

secure_input is a tiny, dependency-free Python package that provides a secure, user-friendly way to prompt for sensitive input (like passwords) in terminal applications. It supports masking (e.g. *) and aims to be simple to use and easy to drop into any script.

🚀 Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install secure-input

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/secure-input/

🧩 Quick usage

from secure_input import secure_input

password = secure_input("Enter your Password: ", show="*")
print("You entered:", password)

secure_input(prompt: str, show: str) -> str

• prompt: text shown to the user
• show: masking character (e.g. "*")

📚 Features

• Easy Usage
• Optional masking character for input
• Cross-platform terminals supported

⚠️ Notes & Limitations

• Non-ASCII characters (e.g. Ö Ä Ü ß) may not be handled correctly — use plain ASCII letters, numbers and symbols for best results.
• Always validate and handle the secret data securely in your application (do not print or log real passwords in production).

🧪 Examples

A short interactive example:

from secure_input import secure_input

api_key = secure_input("API Key: ", show="*")
if len(api_key) == 0:
    print("No key provided")
else:
    print("Key received (length):", len(api_key))
