Password Masking(not duplicate)

Question

Compiler-Code::Blocks Operating System(OS)-Windows

I wrote a very simple password masking program unlike the complicated ones on the internet.When i build and run my code it displays "Enter password" but does not allow me to input anything.

By password masking i mean that when i enter password then it is displayed as **** while being input just as it happens in E-mail.(one * for each character)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string pass;

    cout << "Enter password";

    for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
    {
        char ch = getch();

        if (ch == 13)
            break;

        if (ch == 8)
        {
            if (pass.size())
            {
                cout << "\b \b";
                pass.pop_back();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            cout << "*";
            pass += ch;
        }
    }

    cout <<  "pass = " << pass << '\n';
}
