    Description

      If the user specifies -u username and leaves off -p password, cqlsh should prompt for a password without echoing it to the screen instead of throwing an exception, which it currently does. I know that you can put a username and password in the .cqlshrc file but if a user wants to log in with multiple accounts and not have the password visible on the screen, there's no way to currently do that.
