tfx login won't accept a Personal Access Token

See original GitHub issue

After calling tfx login --service-url https://app.market.visualstudio.com it asks for a Personal access token. I can’t do anything but press enter key at this prompt. It won’t accept any characters nor will it accept the paste command from the window tools Edit/Paste

Installation was via npm install -g tfx-cli inside a Windows 10 command prompt with Node 4.4.3 LTS installed

was able to login via tfx login --service-url https://app.market.visualstudio.com --token *********** however.

Spent about an hour trying to figure out how to get it to work before finally giving up and looking for an argument token for the pat in the source. I think echoing asterisks would be a wonderful solution to prevent the confusion.

a repository search for --service-url turned up the --token argument so I could actually get working.

By the way I don’t see --token documented in any .md files but I could of simply missed it.

Thanks for the responding @trevorsg & @bryanmacfarlane

The --token argument is shown when you use --help, e.g. tfx login --help.
