Could you please modify the description to make it more clear?

Would this change cause error(s) in other environments?
You should probably add a unit test for the change.
I also left some comments on the issue page.

I do not know why it appears, but it is a common problem with getpass:
* https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19807
* https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22364
* https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/gibiexport/issue/2/error-getting-password-on-windows

I only have windows running and do not see a problem.

Unfortunately, I'm no pro at python and never wanted to be one. But since there were a few problems I just wanted to fix and contribute every problem I stumpled across. Therefore, I do not know how to test this thing.
