Countdown while user types
So let's say I wanted to make a program wherein the user has to guess a password, but only has six seconds to do so. How can I make it so the timer counts down even as the user types? At the moment, I only know how to make programs do one thing at a time; while I can easily make a program that counts down from six seconds, or a program that lets a user guess a password, I have no idea how to make a program do both of those things at once. I was hoping you guys here could teach me how to do so.

It is advanced topic actually.
There is another way to do it but it includes infinite loop and asynchronous input which pretty advanced too.
