/prog/ - Worse is Better

The best possible getpass() you could get away with is to declare a static char array variable which you return a pointer to

char* getpass(void)
{
static char password[10];
scanf("%9s\n", password);
return password;
}

However this makes the function non-thread-safe and non-renterant which limits its use, and as well as that you end up storing the password in memory for the permanent life of the program.
Oh no, not 10 bytes!
