Hi, how are you?

Use the readline-sync package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/readline-sync) Use the code below to enter a password in the console, but you want to hide it with *ten thousand There is an unknown error. Please help me.

Code:

const readlineSync = require('readline-sync');
const message = 'Please enter password: ';
const options = {
    hideEchoBack: true,
    mask: '*'
};
const answer = readlineSync.question(message, options);
console.log('Password entered: ', answer);

Error:

I know what you mean. It works fine on cmd. I think it's because the package is not compatible with the Webstorm console I write with IDE.
