How to get a password from a shell script without echoing

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

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

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

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

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

First of all  if anyone is going to store any password in a file  I would make sure it s hashed  It s not the best security  but at least it will not be in plain text    First  create the password and hash it   echo  password123    md5sum    cut -d  -  -f 1  gt   tmp secret  Now  create your program to use the hash  In this case  this little program receives user input for a password without echoing  and then converts it to hash to be compared with the stored hash  If it matches the stored hash  then access is granted      bin bash  PASSWORD FILE   tmp secret  MD5 HASH   cat  tmp secret  PASSWORD WRONG 1   while    PASSWORD WRONG -eq 1    do     echo  Enter your password       read -s ENTERED PASSWORD     if     MD5 HASH        echo  ENTERED PASSWORD   md5sum   cut -d  -  -f 1      then         echo  Access Deniend  Incorrenct password   Try again      else         echo  Access Granted          PASSWORD WRONG 0     fi done

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

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      bin sh

EOF 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    lt script name gt          - 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   lt bucket gt   lt secret gt          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   lt bucket gt           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   lt bucket gt    lt secret gt           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   lt bucket gt     lt secret gt           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  lt bucket gt   lt secret gt          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
