unix - How do I turn off echo in a terminal?

Question

I'm writing a Bourne shell script and have a password input like this:

echo -n 'Password: '
read password

Obviously, I don't want the password being echoed to the terminal, so I want to turn off echo for the duration of the read. I know there's way to do this with stty, but I'll ask the question for the benefit of the community whilst I go read the manpage. ;)

Answer 1

stty_orig=`stty -g`
stty -echo
echo 'hidden section'
stty $stty_orig
