🔒 Struggling to use pyinputplus "inputPassword"

[royal frost]

Hi there,
I'm sort of a newbie. Anyone really familiar with the puyinputplus library and how do I make it work?

pyip.inputPassword('Enter the password: ', mask="*", limit=None)

what happens

hi``` (not separate entries)


I was under the impression that mask would first make every key I type turn into a "*", and also when I try to hit enter, nothing happens, it goes to a new line as if its waiting for more input. 

I keep seeing in the documentation it mentions correctPassword? I dont even know how to use that and dont see any examples or any information on how thats used in this function.

I was looking at this but still cant see how correctPassword is used.

Thanks for your time.
