Accepting based on positive reception on the forum.

I'd like to reframe this to simply provide keyboard feedback via the echo_char="*" argument on Python 3.14+. I'll cross-post on the forum.

We should address createpassword at the same time as mentioned on forum.

Thanks for offering a PR.

  • Ticket #36972 – Description

    initial v1  
    11When running `python manage.py createsuperuser`, the password prompt currently shows:
    2 ```
     2{{{
    33Password:
    4 ```
     4}}}
    55Nothing is printed while typing (for security), but many beginners might think the terminal has frozen or the command isn’t working, since there’s no hint that the input is hidden.

    77**Suggestion:** 
    88Update the password prompt in the `createsuperuser` management command to something clearer, like:
    9 ```
     9{{{
    1010Password (input hidden):
    11 ```
     11}}}
    1212or
    13 ```
     13{{{
    1414Password:  [input hidden]
    15 ```
     15}}}
