Interrupt signal leaves the terminal with tty echo off

Basically, if you are using the CLI and press ^C while it's asking for your password (which is a pretty natural thing to do) then when you get out of the command your terminal is screwed up because echo is still off on tty. That means you don't get to see what you're typing anymore. Sad day.

Maybe catch the SIGINT yourself and turn echo back on before you leave.

This is for the CLI version 0.4

    Strangely, if I have a #!/bin/bash line it doesn't exhibit the same problem.
    I'm running on Ubuntu 16.04.

    Thanks @micahhainline. We'll look into what we can do to make this better. I've filed it as issue 420 in our tracker.

    As a temporary workaround, does running reset fix things?

    Is reset what they young folk are calling stty sane these days? Ah. Yes it is.
