Reading the documentation (15.7 in Python 3):

The getpass module provides two functions:

getpass.getpass(/prompt='Password: '/, /stream=None/)¶ 
<http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/getpass.html?highlight=getpass#getpass.getpass>

    Prompt the user for a password without echoing. The user is prompted
    using the string /prompt/, which defaults to 'Password: '.
