The error was:
Warning: Problem with getpass. Passwords may be echoed.



My code is:

#This is for a password protected program to store passwords.
import getpass
password = "hello"
sitelist = {}

def main_menu():
    print "1) Add a login info card"
    print "2) Lookup a login info card"
    print "3) Remove a login info card"
    print "4) Print Login info list"
    print "9) Exit"

def add_site():
    print "Add a login info card"
    site = raw_input("Site: ")
    id = raw_input("User ID: ")
    passcard = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
    sitelist[site] = [id,passcard]

def lookup_site():
    print "Lookup a login info card"
    site = raw_input("Site: ")
    if sitelist.has_key(site):
        print "The ID is: ",sitlist[site][0]
        print "The password is: ",sitelist[site][1]
    else:
        print site," was not found."

def remove_site():
     print "Remove a login info card"
     site = raw_input("Site: ")
     if sitelist.has_key(site):
         del sitelist[site]
     else:
         print site," was not found."

def print_login_info():
    print "Login Info"
    for x in sitelist.keys():
        print "Site: ",x," \tID: ",sitelist[x][0]," \tPassword: 
",sitelist[x][1],"\n"

print "The Password Program"
print "By Nathan Pinno"
print
answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ")
while password != answer:
    print "The password is incorrect."
    answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ")

print "Welcome to the second half of the program."
while 1:
    main_menu()
    menu_choice = int(raw_input("Choose an option: "))
    if menu_choice == 1:
        add_site()
    elif menu_choice == 2:
        lookup_site()
    elif menu_choice == 3:
        remove_site()
    elif menu_choice == 4:
        print_login_info()
    elif menu_choice == 9:
        break
    else:
        print "That's not an option!"
print "Have a nice day!"



Thanks for the help!
