I tried
mysqladmin --password status
At least on Linux, nothing appears while you are entering the
password.
I checked the code and on windows mysqladmin do write '*' for the
password characters.
A small trick you can use on windows to fool anyone that is looking at
you while you are writing is ending the password entry with extra
end-space characters. The end space are automaticly removed from the
password but they still get the '*' to be printed.
