Error trying to read both passphrase and input from stdin on Windows #196

Environment

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro (x86_64) Build 19041.804
  • age version: v1.0.0-rc.1

What I was trying to do

Not sure if I have the correct cmdline for this but I was trying to password-encrypt some arbitrary words from stdin using

age -p -o out

What happened

Seems like age is trying to open /dev/tty which does not exist on Windows.

Command line: age -p -o out

Enter passphrase (leave empty to autogenerate a secure one): Error: could not read passphrase: standard input is not available or not a terminal, and opening /dev/tty failed: open /dev/tty: The system cannot find the path specified.
[ Did age not do what you expected? Could an error be more useful? Tell us: https://filippo.io/age/report ]
