Prevents other apps from monitoring input

Useful for passwords and sensitive data

Must be manually toggled off

Configure secure input

secure-input = false # Default state ```_

Konfigurationssicherheit

```bash

Protect configuration file

chmod 600 ~/.config/ghostty/config

Use environment variables for sensitive data

Instead of hardcoding in config file

shell-integration-features = $\{GHOSTTY_FEATURES\} ```_
