Comment (by atagar):

 > Isn't that method susceptible to a timing attack too?

 This threw me off for a second. It's not a timing attack (or at least not
 by the definition I know, and wikipedia uses), but you're right that it
 would indeed still be vulnerable for a window. And agreed that either a
 password file or getpass prompt would be better options.
