Can't genrate RSA private key with LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle

Question

I'm using this library and following it's documentation. In the "Generate the SSH keys" section it's mentioned that I must execute these commands:

mkdir -p config/jwt
openssl genpkey -out config/jwt/private.pem -aes256 -algorithm rsa -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:4096
openssl pkey -in config/jwt/private.pem -out config/jwt/public.pem -pubout

I try to execute this command:

openssl genpkey -out config/jwt/private.pem -aes256 -algorithm rsa -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:4096

but when it asks me to enter the pass phrase, I can't type anything (so the next one cant be executed). I tried to type it in the Windows terminal, in VS Code terminal, and even in git bash, but it's still not working.

Is it a known issue? If so, is there a solution?

I want to note that on git bash it is still blocked in +++++++ and it doesn't ask for a pass phrase.

I'm on Windows 10, Symfony 4.4.15, API Platform 2.5. OpenSSL command is working for me.

It's normal behaviour related to security. Simply input phrase and press Enter.
