+    The ``askHiddenResponse`` method was added in Symfony 2.2.
+
+You can also ask question and hide the response. This is particularly
+convenient for passwords::
+
+    $dialog = $this->getHelperSet()->get('dialog');
+    $password = $dialog->askHiddenResponse(
+        $output,
+        'What is the database password ?',
+        false
+    );
+
+.. caution::
+
+    When you ask an hidden response, Symfony will use either a binary, change
+    stty mode or use another trick to hide the response. If none is available,
+    it will fallback on the classic question unless you pass ``false`` as the
+    third argument like in the example above. In this case, a RuntimeException
+    would be thrown.
+
+Ask and validate response
+-------------------------
+
+You can easily ask question and validate response with built-in methods::
+
+    $dialog = $this->getHelperSet()->get('dialog');
+
+    $validator = function ($value) {
+        if (trim($value) == '') {
+            throw new \Exception('The value can not be empty');
+        }
+    }
+
+    $password = $dialog->askAndValidate(
+        $output,
+        'Please enter the name of the widget',
+        $validator,
+        20,
+        'foo'
+    );
+
+The validation callback can be any callable PHP function, the fourth argument is
+the maximum number of attempts, set it to ``false`` for unlimited attempts. The
+fifth argument is the default value.
