Can't enter Plex Password

• I have read the README.md on the project homepage
• I have checked if identical issue already exists
• I have tried downgrading to find version that can be used as a workaround

The problem

I have installed PlexTraktSync using Docker fine but when I try to run the command plextraktsync sync it askes me for my Plex username which i can type in. I then press enter and it asks for my Plex password, this is where I have a problem.
It will not allow me to type anything, the only thing I can do is press enter which takes me to the 2FA input.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

INFO     PlexTraktSync [0.32.0]                                                                                                                                               
Please enter your Plex username or e-mail (): [my username]
Please enter your Plex password: **_CANNOT TYPE HERE_**
Enter a 2FA code if enabled, or leave blank otherwise: [left blank]
Log in to Plex failed: '(401) unauthorized; https://plex.tv/api/v2/users/signin <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <errors>   <error code="1031" message="User could 
not be authenticated. This IP appears to be having trouble signing in to an account (detected repeated failures)" status="401"/> </errors> ', Try again.

I'm sure you can type. What you're saying is that nothing appear on screen while you type.
That's by design, the keystrokes are received but not printed.

I have tried typing my password in the event that was the case but it still didn't work

you can also use command line argument:

Hmm i have the same issue and tried to use plextracksync sync -password ******** and it didn't recognise the command

Nevermind, i'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not. But i removed all the symbols in my password other then an ! and it worked.
