- Here is what I use in one of my tools... and I never had 
problems with German password so far ;)

string getPassword(char mask = '*')
{
	import std.stdio;
	import libs.terminal;
	auto term = Terminal(ConsoleOutputType.linear);
	auto input = RealTimeConsoleInput(&term, ConsoleInputFlags.raw);
	string pass;
	dchar ch;
	ch = input.getch();
	while(ch != '\r' && ch != '\n')
	{
		import std.range;
		if(ch == '\b' && !pass.empty)
		{
			pass = pass[0..$-1];
			write('\b');
			stdout.flush;
		}
		else
		{
			pass ~= ch;
			write(mask);
			stdout.flush();
		}
		ch = input.getch();
	}
	return pass;
}
