Secure Keyboard Entry prevents other applications on the system and/or network from detecting and recording what is typed into Terminal. Enabling this feature can minimize the risk of a key logger identifying the keys entered into the Terminal.
Fix:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal SecureKeyboardEntry -bool true
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal SecureKeyboardEntry -bool true
