  • Passing passphrase directly to wallet713 via -p <passphrase> involves typing it (and seeing it) in the terminal
  • Explicit unlock once in wallet713 involves typing and seeing the passphrase

It would be good to mask the passphrase when entering it.

  • Allow -p to be passed in without a passphrase and then prompt the user for the password and mask it.
  • Allow unlock without a passphrase and then prompt the user for the passphrase and mask it.

Or am I missing something and this is already possible?

I agree, we should add this. This would work well with the features suggested in #9. Thanks for raising it!
