 def password(message: Text, default: Text = "", validate: Union[Type[Validator], Callable[[Text], bool], None] = None, # noqa qmark: Text = DEFAULT_QUESTION_PREFIX, style: Optional[Style] = None, **kwargs: Any) -> Question: """Question the user to enter a secret text not displayed in the prompt. This question type can be used to prompt the user for information that should not be shown in the command line. The typed text will be replaced with `*`. Args: message: Question text default: Default value will be returned if the user just hits enter. validate: Require the entered value to pass a validation. The value can not be submited until the validator accepts it (e.g. to check minimum password length). This can either be a function accepting the input and returning a boolean, or an class reference to a subclass of the prompt toolkit Validator class. qmark: Question prefix displayed in front of the question. By default this is a `?` style: A custom color and style for the question parts. You can configure colors as well as font types for different elements. Returns: Question: Question instance, ready to be prompted (using `.ask()`). """
