Took me a couple of hours to get here.
From a personal perspective I think this makes perfect sense.
If I mark a variable sensitive = true, I would expect terraform to mask the input when asking.

+10000 for this feature.
Would love to see sensitive variables masked when typed in at the console.

Agreed, although I am going to retain this issue as I think the description is a bit easier to understand.
