getpwd - simple tool that queries a password from a user and writes it to standard output

Author

       Written by Stefan Marsiske.

Description

       This  is  a simple script which uses pinentry from the gnupg project to query a password and write it out
       to standard output.  Which pinentry variant you use, is up to  you,  it  can  be  a  curses,  gtk  or  qt
       interface.   This  should  be  safer than echoing a password into pwdsphinx, since your password will not
       show up in your process list nor your command line history.

       The only parameter this tool takes is a prompt to display when asking for the password.
