[google-cloud-sql-discuss] Re: gce and cloudSQL (mysql 5.7) cannot connect. I can't type password.

Hi!

Great question. What you are facing is a Linux/ Unix/ Shell (call it what you want) security feature. This is a common question and its purpose is to add the extra layer of security by not displaying the number of characters in a password.

In order to resolve this issue, you should type in your password even though the cursor doesn't move and then hit ENTER. If the password is correct, you will be allowed to log in.

Here is a post from the Unix Stackexchange and one from an Ask Ubuntu. Both of these are great resources.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
