How to get a password from a shell script without echoing - bash

Question

I have a script that automates a process that needs access to a password protected system. The system is accessed via a command-line program that accepts the user password as an argument.
I would like to prompt the user to type in their password, assign it to a shell variable, and then use that variable to construct the command line of the accessing program (which will of course produce stream output that I will process).
I am a reasonably competent shell programmer in Bourne/Bash, but I don't know how to accept the user input without having it echo to the terminal (or maybe having it echoed using '*' characters).
Can anyone help with this?

Answer 1

Here is another way to do it:
#!/bin/bash
# Read Password
echo -n Password:
read -s password
echo
# Run Command
echo $password
The read -s will turn off echo for you. Just replace the echo on the last line with the command you want to run.
In some shells (e.g. bash) read supports -p prompt-string which will allow the echo and read commands to be combined.
read -s -p "Password: " password

Answer 2

A POSIX compliant answer. Notice the use of /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash. (It does work with bash, but it does not require bash.)
#!/bin/sh
stty -echo
printf "Password: "
read PASSWORD
stty echo
printf "\n"

Answer 3

One liner:
read -s -p "Password: " password
Under Linux (and cygwin) this form works in bash and sh. It may not be standard Unix sh, though.
For more info and options, in bash, type "help read".
$ help read
read: read [-ers] [-a array] [-d delim] [-i text] [-n nchars] [-N nchars] [-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-u fd] [name ...]
Read a line from the standard input and split it into fields.
...
-p prompt output the string PROMPT without a trailing newline before
attempting to read
...
-s do not echo input coming from a terminal

Answer 4

The -s option of read is not defined in the POSIX standard. See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/read.html. I wanted something that would work for any POSIX shell, so I wrote a little function that uses stty to disable echo.
#!/bin/sh
# Read secret string
read_secret()
{
# Disable echo.
stty -echo
# Set up trap to ensure echo is enabled before exiting if the script
# is terminated while echo is disabled.
trap 'stty echo' EXIT
# Read secret.
read "$#"
# Enable echo.
stty echo
trap - EXIT
# Print a newline because the newline entered by the user after
# entering the passcode is not echoed. This ensures that the
# next line of output begins at a new line.
echo
}
This function behaves quite similar to the read command. Here is a simple usage of read followed by similar usage of read_secret. The input to read_secret appears empty because it was not echoed to the terminal.
[susam#cube ~]$ read a b c
foo \bar baz \qux
[susam#cube ~]$ echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
a=foo b=bar c=baz qux
[susam#cube ~]$ unset a b c
[susam#cube ~]$ read_secret a b c
[susam#cube ~]$ echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
a=foo b=bar c=baz qux
[susam#cube ~]$ unset a b c
Here is another that uses the -r option to preserve the backslashes in the input. This works because the read_secret function defined above passes all arguments it receives to the read command.
[susam#cube ~]$ read -r a b c
foo \bar baz \qux
[susam#cube ~]$ echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
a=foo b=\bar c=baz \qux
[susam#cube ~]$ unset a b c
[susam#cube ~]$ read_secret -r a b c
[susam#cube ~]$ echo a=$a b=$b c=$c
a=foo b=\bar c=baz \qux
[susam#cube ~]$ unset a b c
Finally, here is an example that shows how to use the read_secret function to read a password in a POSIX compliant manner.
printf "Password: "
read_secret password
# Do something with $password here ...

Answer 5

I found to be the the askpass command useful
password=$(/lib/cryptsetup/askpass "Give a password")
Every input character is replaced by *. See:
Give a password ****

Answer 6

You can also prompt for a password without setting a variable in the current shell by doing something like this:
$(read -s;echo $REPLY)
For instance:
my-command --set password=$(read -sp "Password: ";echo $REPLY)
You can add several of these prompted values with line break, doing this:
my-command --set user=$(read -sp "`echo $'\n '`User: ";echo $REPLY) --set password=$(read -sp "`echo $'\n '`Password: ";echo $REPLY)

Answer 7

Turn echo off using stty, then back on again after.

Answer 8

While there are plenty of answers already, there is one more way to ask for passwords from terminal in virtually any modern linux that runs systemd (yes, booo, I know, but what can you do about it). systemd-ask-password command is included with standard core systemd package and can be used like this:
#!/bin/sh
PASSWORD="$(systemd-ask-password "Enter your password:")"
Use --emoji=no switch to suppress that stupid unicode lock character. It works great inside terminal but requires tweaking if you need it to pop up a GUI dialog, but that is out of scope here.

Answer 10

For anyone needing to prompt for a password, you may be interested in using encpass.sh. This is a script I wrote for similar purposes of capturing a secret at runtime and then encrypting it for subsequent occasions. Subsequent runs do not prompt for the password as it will just use the encrypted value from disk.
It stores the encrypted passwords in a hidden folder under the user's home directory or in a custom folder that you can define through the environment variable ENCPASS_HOME_DIR. It is designed to be POSIX compliant and has an MIT License, so it can be used even in corporate enterprise environments. My company, Plyint LLC, maintains the script and occasionally releases updates. Pull requests are also welcome, if you find an issue. :)
To use it in your scripts simply source encpass.sh in your script and call the get_secret function. I'm including a copy of the script below for easy visibility.

NAME:
encpass.sh - Use encrypted passwords in shell scripts
DESCRIPTION:
A lightweight solution for using encrypted passwords in shell scripts
using OpenSSL. It allows a user to encrypt a password (or any other secret)
at runtime and then use it, decrypted, within a script. This prevents
shoulder surfing passwords and avoids storing the password in plain text,
within a script, which could inadvertently be sent to or discovered by an
individual at a later date.
This script generates an AES 256 bit symmetric key for each script
(or user-defined bucket) that stores secrets. This key will then be used
to encrypt all secrets for that script or bucket.
Subsequent calls to retrieve a secret will not prompt for a secret to be
entered as the file with the encrypted value already exists.
Note: By default, encpass.sh sets up a directory (.encpass) under the
user's home directory where keys and secrets will be stored. This directory
can be overridden by setting the environment variable ENCPASS_HOME_DIR to a
directory of your choice.
~/.encpass (or the directory specified by ENCPASS_HOME_DIR) will contain
the following subdirectories:
- keys (Holds the private key for each script/bucket)
- secrets (Holds the secrets stored for each script/bucket)
USAGE:
To use the encpass.sh script in an existing shell script, source the script
and then call the get_secret function.
Example:
#!/bin/sh
. encpass.sh
password=\$(get_secret)
When no arguments are passed to the get_secret function,
then the bucket name is set to the name of the script and
the secret name is set to "password".
There are 2 other ways to call get_secret:
Specify the secret name:
Ex: \$(get_secret user)
- bucket name = <script name>
- secret name = "user"
Specify both the secret name and bucket name:
Ex: \$(get_secret personal user)
- bucket name = "personal"
- secret name = "user"
encpass.sh also provides a command line interface to manage the secrets.
To invoke a command, pass it as an argument to encpass.sh from the shell.
$ encpass.sh [COMMAND]
See the COMMANDS section below for a list of available commands. Wildcard
handling is implemented for secret and bucket names. This enables
performing operations like adding/removing a secret to/from multiple buckets
at once.
COMMANDS:
add [-f] <bucket> <secret>
Add a secret to the specified bucket. The bucket will be created
if it does not already exist. If a secret with the same name already
exists for the specified bucket, then the user will be prompted to
confirm overwriting the value. If the -f option is passed, then the
add operation will perform a forceful overwrite of the value. (i.e. no
prompt)
list|ls [<bucket>]
Display the names of the secrets held in the bucket. If no bucket
is specified, then the names of all existing buckets will be
displayed.
lock
Locks all keys used by encpass.sh using a password. The user
will be prompted to enter a password and confirm it. A user
should take care to securely store the password. If the password
is lost then keys can not be unlocked. When keys are locked,
secrets can not be retrieved. (e.g. the output of the values
in the "show" command will be encrypted/garbage)
remove|rm [-f] <bucket> [<secret>]
Remove a secret from the specified bucket. If only a bucket is
specified then the entire bucket (i.e. all secrets and keys) will
be removed. By default the user is asked to confirm the removal of
the secret or the bucket. If the -f option is passed then a
forceful removal will be performed. (i.e. no prompt)
show [<bucket>] [<secret>]
Show the unencrypted value of the secret from the specified bucket.
If no secret is specified then all secrets for the bucket are displayed.
update <bucket> <secret>
Updates a secret in the specified bucket. This command is similar
to using an "add -f" command, but it has a safety check to only
proceed if the specified secret exists. If the secret, does not
already exist, then an error will be reported. There is no forceable
update implemented. Use "add -f" for any required forceable update
scenarios.
unlock
Unlocks all the keys for encpass.sh. The user will be prompted to
enter the password and confirm it.
dir
Prints out the current value of the ENCPASS_HOME_DIR environment variable.
