Thanks a lot Alain, you found the right solution.

Here is the working code:

open Unix
[...]
let read_password () =
  let term_init = tcgetattr stdin in
  let term_no_echo = { term_init with c_echo = false; } in
  tcsetattr stdin TCSANOW term_no_echo;
  let password = read_line () in
  tcsetattr stdin TCSAFLUSH term_init;
  password


Many thanks,
d.
