Can't type password in Git Bash

bitbucket, git, git-bash

Solution

You are typing the password, it just does not give you a visible reaction when entering characters (i.e. no `*` symbols). So just type your password correctly, press enter and it should work.

Problem

I have a strange problem I couldn't find anything about on the web. I'm learning to use BitBucket and I'm following their walkthrough. I'm using Git Bash as the command prompt as they say here. Whenever I need to enter a password, e.g when cloning a repo, it simply refuses to get any input! I type on the keyboard, but nothing is shown on the screen. The only key it does accept is Enter, and then it says authorization fails because there's no password. I can't type it. The strange thing is that I can type all other commands, just not this one. Any ideas?
