Usage of dots instead of plain text in getpass.getpass()

[hannes101]

Description

In the process of creating a marimo notebook, I came across the problem that password input is echoed in plain text.

I think this is well known, since it's also shown as a warning.
Would it be possible to get an input field, which obfuscates the entered text like in a jupyter notebook or in VSCode with the normal dots?

Suggested solution

Don't echo the entered text, but rather just dots.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

• Yes

Alternatives

Perhaps it would be even better to not give any feedback in the input box.

Additional context

I was looking for any issue related to this, but I couldn't find one also not in the closed ones.

I believe that the mo.ui.text() has a parameter for this! I think the argument is kind=“password”. See https://docs.marimo.io/api/inputs/text/ for the exact syntax!

Ok, but is this then something, which one could change in getpass or would it be possible to use this kind="password", whenever getpass.getpass() is used within marimo?
