How can i make my password appears as stars ! It's really stupid that it appears as i write , i know there is no getche() in c++ , so help me with this !
system("cls");
cout<<"Enter Your Usename Please:"<<endl;
cin>>adminuser;
cout<<"Enter Your Password Please:"<<endl;
cin>>adminpassword;
if(adminuser=="pouya" && adminpassword=="admin"){ Admin.AdminIntro();}
else { cout<<"Sorry, Information Entered Is Invalid"<<endl;}
system("pause");
system("cls");

you need to hide the input, you can include conio.h and use the getch() function to get chars then just output a star for each char received. a lot of people seem to not like conio.h though because it is very old.
and conio.h does work in c++

I am sure there are better and newer ways, that is just the only one I know of by memory

Dear Michaela Elise , I'v tried that , it wasn't successful, can you implement it on the segment of code I just posted ? if there is any other new way neither my lecturer and internet does not know , they all want to do it with getche() and getche() gives me an error , I'm using visual studio 2012 ....
