It consistently hung at the getting password stage.\r\n\r\n**Eventually I worked out that the script was using highline, and that, probably due to running git bash on windows (via MINGW), the get_character method was hanging (trying to access windows functions that weren't available or something maybe)**\r\n\r\nI understand this may be a niche problem.. I just wondered if you were aware of it (/if it would be easy to fix or do something about)"}}
