OLDSTTY=$(stty -g)
stty -echo
read password
stty $OLDSTTY
is one approach.
use read -s (silent mode!)
example:
$ read -sp "password: " PASSWORD
password:
$ echo $PASSWORD
xxx

What works on your shell isn't necessarily working elsewhere ;-)
$ read -sp "password: " PASSWORD
sh: read: -p: no coprocess

Booze is the answer. I don't remember the question.

read -s is zsh or bash specific. Nothing standard here. In
ksh93, there's a read -s but that means something completely
different. The only standard read option is "-r".
To do it more portably, you need stty -echo as another poster
mentionned. And remember that "read" without "-r" has a very
special meaning to the shell.

password:

`stty -echo` is a far better solution in my opinion and not specific
to one shell

I don't think it's related to the OP's question though.
But if you want to behave like the passwd command in that
regard, you can simply do
{
old_settings=$(stty -g)
stty -echo
printf 'password: '
IFS= read -r passwd
stty "$old_settings"
} <> /dev/tty >&0
(remember to always put stty -echo *before* issuing the prompt).

There's no group owner. And it's the _individuals_ that are active.
