In this video, we will write a C++ Program to take Passwords as Input. The password is a series of letters or numbers that you must categorize into a computer or computer system in order to be suitable to use it.

So, generally, there are two methods by which we can hide a password or data:

1. Don't share or display any data.
2. Hide data using a special character similar to an asterisk( *) rather than actual data.

In the alternate methodology, the input content will be hidden. This can be enforced in two methods:
1. Using <windows.h>: In this method, a console mode is set to enable, echo input, and reset the console.
2. Using <conio.h>: In this method getch() is used. This function takes a character input from the user without a buffer and does not await for the user to press the “ return ” key.
