Hi guys, i have a code which asks for a username and password. Im trying to make it so that when the user enters their password, instead of seing (in this example: cyclone) you would see: *******. So basicly im trying to make the password private. Any help would be good thanks. the code i have so far is below :)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(){
int len;
char user1[7], name[] = "Gerry";
char pass1[9], pass[] = "cyclone";

printf("PleaseEnterYourUsername: ");
fgets(user1, 7, stdin);
len = strlen(user1) - 1;
if (user1[len] == '\n') user1[len] = '\0';

if (!strcmp(user1, name)) {
printf("\n\nPlease enter your password: ");
rewind(stdin);
fgets(pass1, 9, stdin);
len = strlen(pass1) - 1;
if (pass1[len] == '\n') pass1[len] = '\0';

if (!strcmp(pass1, pass))
printf("\n\nCorrect Password");
else
printf("\nIncorrect password");
}else
printf("\nIncorrect username");

printf("\nPress return to exit\n");
rewind(stdin);
getchar();
return 0;
}
