Hi Helmut,
If you don't mind the extra dependency, there is a complete example in
the lambda-term library:
https://github.com/ocaml-community/lambda-term/blob/master/examples/read_password.ml
The main differences with the other solutions mentioned in this thread
are that this version works on Windows, supports line edition and
supports customisation such as displaying nothing or displaying stars.
Best,
Jeremie
