[Bug 386525] [NEW] BTI should not display password while user types it

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bti

If the user's twitter password is not in ~/.bti or specified on the
command line, the user is prompted for it. However, the password is
visible while it is being entered. I think it would be better for the
password to be invisible, or shown as ****, instead. Found in version
023-1 (current in Karmic).
