how do i make a password in my python program to be shown as asterisk

Question

def logInOkay():
  print("You must login before proceeding")
  userId = input("User ID")
  userPw = input("Password")
  if (userId=="Mr Leeman") and (userPw=="Treeroad!"):
    return True
  else:
    print("Error in userId or password")
    return False

I need to be able to enter (treeroad!), but it need to be hidden and replaced with asterisk.

You'll need to use getch() instead of input().
