Description
Working on windows. Tried both native cmd and msys bash.
- run keybase gen
- enter my (new) passphrase when asked
- keybase shows it instead of masking
- After hitting enter keybase behaves as if I hit it twice (passphrases didn't match!)
- After that I can normally enter passphrase (it's masked)
- See attached screenshot (passphrase there is fake, but you can always try!)

Reproduce keybase gen on Windows using native cmd and MSYS bash, following the passphrase steps in the issue. Verify that the new passphrase is masked and that pressing Enter advances only once, with matching passphrases accepted.
