How can I get mintty to not display my password?


When using cmd.exe, when I am prompted for a password, no characters are 
displayed, but the password gets entered.  However, when I use mintty, the 
characters I type at the password prompt are displayed.  TERM=xterm.  How 
can I stop this from happening?

In cmd.exe:
-----------
