Не вводится пароль в терминале windows

Token had two underscores before and after it.

@mathstar13 The password prompt doesn’t show any characters while you type. For the PyPI token, I recommend copying & pasting it when you see the password prompt, and then pressing «Enter». If that doesn’t work, can you copy and paste the output from Twine?

Also, I edited your description to make __token__ show up properly.

python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

If only we had variable debug level logging

@sigmavirus24 I agree that more information about credentials would be useful, which is why I added that to the verbosity roadmap in #381 (comment) yesterday morning.

@bhrutledge I saved it in a file and tried to use it before I created a pypi token. I’m sure then that I used the right one.

@mathstar13 can you validate that the standard library works for you?

python -c 'import getpass; print(getpass.getpass("Test: "))'

Should print whatever you type in even though you won’t see it in the terminal as you type it. You don’t need to copy/paste it here. Please also test that however you’re inputting your token works as well in the same fashion.

@sigmavirus24 When I try to run it, it tells me’

File "<string>", line 1
    'import
          ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

Maybe adjust it for your windows terminal? The example I posted works on a *nix box but I haven’t used windows in too long to remember how to write that appropriately

I went down the rabbit hole, installed Windows on a virtual machine, and was able to reproduce this when trying to paste the token in Command Prompt or PowerShell. In short, this is a known issue with getpass (and anything that uses it, like Twine) on Windows. The workarounds include:

• Clicking Edit > Paste from the Command Prompt menu
• Enabling Properties > Options > Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste in the Command Prompt menu
• Using the new Windows Terminal

@mathstar13 Can you confirm that one of these works for you?

To reproduce, I copied the text pypi-token, and then ran this code to print the length of the entered value:

C:Usersbrian>python -c "import getpass; print(len(getpass.getpass()))"
Password: <ctrl+v><enter>
1

C:Usersbrian>python -c "import getpass; print(len(getpass.getpass()))"
Password: <ctrl+shift+v><enter>
10

Typing works fine:

C:Usersbrian>python -c "import getpass; print(len(getpass.getpass()))"
Password: pypi-token
10

However, I suspect more folks are running into this due to the use of tokens that are difficult to type.

Aside: the SyntaxError in #671 (comment) is due to the single quote; apparently it needs to be a double quote.

That’s great, @mathstar13. Out of curiosity: did one of the workarounds I suggested work for you? If so, which one?

@bhrutledge The one that helped me the best was just the one that showed me getpass. I couldn’t paste my token, but I could enter my username and password.

@mathstar13 Oh, I see. So, you just typed your username/password for TestPyPI directly? I was hoping you’d be able to paste your token. Did you try any of the workarounds that I suggested for pasting?

@bhrutledge I couldn’t use them because I’m in command prompt, not Windows Terminal.

@mathstar13 One of these options should work from Command Prompt:

1. Clicking Edit > Paste from the Command Prompt menu
2. Enabling Properties > Options > Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste in the Command Prompt menu
3. Use right-click to paste

Here’s an example of option 1 working for me:

In the interest of enabling you to use your token (which is better than username/password) and assisting future Windows Python developers, would you be game to give one of those options a try?

This gotcha feels worth documenting to me, along with a suggested workaround. I can think of a few places to do it, but I’m leaning towards adding it to https://pypi.org/help/#invalid-auth.

@mathstar13 would that have been helpful to you? Do you have other suggestions on where/how to document it?

@di what do you think?

If four people found it, maybe others can’t figure it out.

I don’t understand this. Brian and I are both maintainers here. I’m for documenting this, but I’m not sure who the fourth person is here.

@nathanramoscfa I’m not familiar with Anaconda Prompt. To help troubleshoot, it’d be useful to see the exact command you’re running, and the output that you’re seeing. And, assuming you have the Twine v3.3.0 or later, you can run twine upload --verbose ... to see more information that might be useful for debugging.

I figured out what was going on. Your solution works but when doing the top left menu, edit, paste method in Anaconda Prompt, it sometimes doesn’t paste anything the first try. I just hit enter, get the expected authentication error and try a second time. Then it works on the second try. Also, when pasting the password, nothing is visible. It makes it look as if nothing was pasted, but in actuality, it did paste the password, but it seems to be hidden from view…which I guess makes sense for security, but is confusing for first time users. Thanks for your help!

doesn’t work for me((

@IVN-tone following up from #804:

Did you try all 3 options that I listed? Did you read the suggestions at https://pypi.org/help/#invalid-auth?

Can you try running python -m twine upload --verbose --repository testpypi dist/* and pasting entire the output here?

but you also closed the issue #671 and still no solution for the current problem.

This issue is closed because thus far, we haven’t identified anything that should be changed in Twine. The resolution has always had to do with pasting text in the Windows command prompt, which is documented at https://pypi.org/help/#invalid-auth. If that doesn’t work, we can re-open this, or #804, but for now, I think it’s useful to keep the conversation in one place, for future reference.

Ok, I’ll try it first and give the feedback, thank you!

@IVN-tone I need you to copy and paste the entire output of python -m twine upload --verbose --repository testpypi dist/*, not just selected pieces of it. If that’s difficult or not possible, a screenshot will suffice.

For example, here’s what happens when I use the wrong token for «Enter your password»:

Okay, the password: <hidden> line tells me that you’ve successfully pasted a password, which leads me to believe that the value you’ve entered is not the correct token for TestPyPI. I’m not sure how else to debug that, short of suggesting that you triple-check the value that you’re pasting, and maybe have a friend or colleague watch as you go through all the steps.

I just press the button Copy token at (https://test.pypi.org/manage/account/token/) and paste it in the field password of the command prompt.

Ctrl+VCtrl+C is enabled in my command prompt, I tried to paste both by Ctrl+V and by clicking edit of the command prompt window.

There’s already a test1 project on TestPyPI from another user: https://test.pypi.org/project/test1/. That would explain your token being invalid; you don’t have permission to upload to that project.

So, try changing your package name to something like ivn-tone-test.

still no success((

upd. I also tried in Anaconda prompt (in case the standard Windows command prompt has bug, maybe) — the same error.

I’m stumped. Can you share the source code for your package? IE, put it on GitHub, or zip up the directory and attach it here?

@IVN-tone I was able to unpack those files, change the package name, and upload to TestPyPI with a token. So, I’m back to thinking that there’s something wrong with the token value.

Can you run this command, and paste the output here? This will give you the same password prompt that Twine uses, and should verify whether or not the token value is being pasted properly.

python -c "import getpass; print(len(getpass.getpass()))"

You can also remove the len() call to see the value that you pasted.

done, the output is just 1 with len:

python -c "import getpass; print(len(getpass.getpass()))"
Password:
1

and without len the output is the following:

python -c "import getpass; print(getpass.getpass())"
Password:
▬

@IVN-tone Okay! So, there is something wrong with pasting your token; I discovered and documented this behavior in #671 (comment). I think you need to try the workarounds in that comment and #671 (comment) to see if you can get the getpass command to read your token. Once that’s working, you should be able to use the same method with Twine.

Aside: I’m a little surprised that using twine upload --verbose showed password: <hidden> instead of password: <empty>; I might look into that a little bit more, to aid in future troubleshooting.

several facts look suprisingly for me:

1. I was able to use Ctrl+CCtrl+V before I enabled it in properties of command prompt,
2. it works only if I use the right clcik button (Ctrl+CCtrl+V doesn’t work).

Thank you so much for your support and being with me in such a strange thriller!:)

@IVN-tone Excellent! I’m glad you were able to get it working.

One note: after looking at the «properties» suggestion:

• Enabling Properties > Options > Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste in the Command Prompt menu

I think enabling this means you can use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in the command prompt, but still not Ctrl+V. To make it more confusing, this only applies to the command prompt, meaning you’d use Ctrl+C to copy the token from your web browser.

Oh, yes, you’re right, I forgot about Shift, that’s was my fault.
