How to use the Python getpass.getpass in PyCharm

Question

I have found getpass does not work in PyCharm. It just hangs.

In fact is seems msvcrt.getch and raw_input also don\'t work, so perhaps the issue is not with getpass

Answer 1

I've run into this running Pycharm CE 4.5 on Windows. The workaround I use is to run your program in debug mode, then you get a console tab where you can enter your password when using getpass.
