asking for username and password from user using python

Question

I am trying to write a code to fetch data from VM using python.

To start I am trying to ask username and password (not visible or display special character) just how we do in powershell using Get-Credential

I tried below code, it is asking for username but password prompt us not coming

import winrm, getpass
try:
    usrname = input("Enter Username: ")
    passwd = input("Enter Password: ", getpass.getpass())
except Exception as err:
   print('Error Occured : ', err)

Can you please let me know what is wrong. I am using Pycharm to write and execute my code in windows.

The input function in Python only takes one argument. To get the password, you can do this:

try:
    usrname = input("Enter Username: ")
    passwd = getpass.getpass("Enter your password: ")
except Exception as err:
   print('Error Occured : ', err)
