Read a password from std::cin

I want to cin>>input but when they input something i don't want it to be visible to them. Like when you use passwd in unix to change your password where it doesn't show what you typed. i hope it is clear what i am asking. Thank you in advance.

This is not a standard C++ feature — C++ doesn't even require your system to have a keyboard or a screen. That means every operating system and vendor does it somewhat differently. Please read the documentation that came with your compiler for details on your particular installation.
