Answer
There is no standard C++ feature so that characters entered by the user will not be echoed — C++ doesn't even require your system to have a keyboard or a screen.

Some C++ implementations may provide this functionality; but since it is not part of the C++ standard, each one does it somewhat differently. Please read the documentation that came with your compiler for details on your particular implementation.

Or you could use a library like curses or its clones (ncurses, pdcurses etc) to get this functionality. See:
