CF CLI on Windows 10 64bit displays password while "cf login"

Hello,

I just setup CF CLI on my windows 10 64 bit. While trying to login into our organisation, the password field is showing what the standard input instead of blank (which is how it works on my colleague's macbook terminal).

Env: Windows 10 / git bash
CF CLI version: 6.47.1

Hi @karthikgooner thanks for reporting this issue!

With the release of CF CLI 6.47.1 we inadvertantly made GitBash work with cf login, in previous releases, cf login would not work at all with GitBash (see known issues). Our recommendation is to use a different terminal emulator, we were unable to reproduce this in the standard Windows cmd.

Closing this issue, thanks!
