Correction— it works fine on XP. I don’t know what I was doing at 8:08 this morning, but obviously it was far past my bedtime.

There is a method for popping up an IE window to get a password posted here:

but wow, that’s a lot of junk for something as simple as getting a masked password. I think I’d rather downgrade my vista to XP.

The magic code you seek is probably something like:

Set oScriptPW = CreateObject(“ScriptPW.Password”)
WScript.StdOut.Write “Type password and press the Enter key: ”
strPassword = oScriptPW.GetPassword()
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine vbCrLf & “You entered: ” & strPassword

but alas, the scriptpw.dll is no where to be found on any XP or Vista machine I have, regardless of what is reported by the guy who wrote http://www.windowsitpro.com/WindowsScripting/Article/ArticleID/22712/22712.html (the article that inspired the solution.)
