Adding keys to the keystore in Winlogbeat 7.7.0 seems to be broken. The prompt doesn't respond to any input. I've tested this on three separate machines.

To reproduce:

1. Download fresh copy of Winlogbeat 7.7.0
2. Execute `winlogbeat keystore add test`
3. Try to enter a value for test

hi @Coinology, you might be hitting [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/18649](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/18649), can you check the workaround and let us know.

@MarianaD My apologies, I should have updated this post to reflect that using the -stdin flag does indeed work.

I checked GitHub prior to posting this and did not see an issue already logged. I guess I'm blind. Thank you! 🙂
