I know there's readLine, but I do not know passwords can be hidden there. Assume you want to connect to a database using ROracle or RMySQL and do not want to store the password in a script but rather make the user enter it every time a query is executed.
Yes, we had a similar question around here, but I feel that the situation has changed and it's worth to address to problem again. Unfortunately tcltk won't work on RStudio (Server).
However I have seen the folks at R Studio found a solution for their version control support. I remember previous versions where I could see my repo password every time I enter it in R Studio, but now that seems to be fixed. I know it's likely R Studio technique, but is there a way mortal R users can access it when working with R Studio Server? less

The package installs fine from the command line , but just does not work in R studio. I went through lot of threads in forum and lot of them suggested to export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and reset it.infact i went ahead and copied all the R system variables from command line into R Studio. But it still does not work out fine.
One thing i have also noticed is that the R system variables change every time i restart R studio. Can it be the problem that R studio is not taking path values correctly. less
