Replace input with “ * ” C++

Question

i want the user to input a passwort. of course it\'s a secret passwort so nobody should see it. so i tried to replace the letters and numbers the user inputs, with \' * \'.

Answer 1

strcpy(pwstring,pw);

I'm guessing that pwstring is a std::string? strcpy is a c function, it acts on 'c' null terminated strings. You are providing it with a c++ string and an int.
