Testing getpass module: 'password input may be echoed'

I'm looking for any insight into why the below error is raised. I'm wondering if the issue is with pytest?

I'm otherwise using getpass with no issues in my application. However, I'm new to the testing world.

common.py:

def username_password():
    """Get login credentials"""
    # show current windows user
    print("\nThe current windows user is {}\n".format(getuser()))

    username = getpass("Username: ")
    password = getpass("Password: ")
    return username, password

test_common.py:

from unittest.mock import patch
from common import username_password

@patch("getpass.getpass")
@patch("getpass.getuser")
def test_username_password(getuser, getpass):
    getuser.return_value = "Me"
    getpass.return_value = "xxx"
    assert username_password() == ("Me", "xxx")

Any input appreciated.

Now babbling in the hope that the system will grant me the ability to post and stop asking for more details. I have nothing more to add.
