JDK-8354469 - Keytool exposes the password in plain text when command is piped using | grep
Description
The `s.s.u.Password` class offers a terminal for password input. It allows password input even when its standard output is redirected, which effectively rules out the use of `System.console()`. It would be desirable for `Password` to have a terminal using the "built-in" `Console` in such a case.
