# asteriskify - Linux console password prompt with asterisks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
asteriskify | cryptsetup luksOpen ...
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pipe it to anything that receives credentials over stdin, such as cryptsetup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To switch between clear and asterisk mode, press TAB. To reveal only the last character, use CTRL + R.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Expects ASCII or UTF-8 encoding for asterisk mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Alternatives
|
||
|
|
Others may exist, but my quick research only found systemd-ask-password which is unsuitable for my use case (inside a my own minimal initramfs boot image).
