made password input hidden and more clear

when you input your password currently it shows the password in plaintext which isn't great. What I did was make it so that it gives prompts for input and password ex.

Password: ********** 

the password is input but instead of displaying it for any passer by to see, it shows ***s' that is the length of the password

I like this idea,it would be a great improvement of this script,but I think password hiding is not necessary,in my opinion,password showing makes user can check that did they type wrong password,also all the saved account saved in saved.txt ...so the password is still visible ,actually I want to added the printf parts,for any questions,suggestions,welcome to discuss .

Btw, I am thinking about to modify the script for a loop that can back to asking for options after install AltStore or ipa file

I also had concerns about it storing the passwords in plain text but didnt know how to fix that. I understand the idea of verifying the password but if the password doesnt work they can always do it again (and it would be much easier if making the entire script in a loop)
