user input at run time when running a test in pytest

i am establishing a connection to test the database. Testing part is working well when i am hard coding the login details in config file. this work fines.
but this is tiresome task as if other want to use this they have to change there login details and it become visible also if someone hardcode it. what i want is is there a way where i can take the input from the user as argument before the pytest begin and then use that login details to connect to db.
if i use input() function to get the details , then as i run my test function/file , it throwing me a error . ( ie input form system out not capture).
how to solve this issue using pytest.
so lets the coding part :
login_id = "xxxx"
password = "abcd"
@pytest.fixture
def some_func():
custon_login_func(login_id, password)
i am using this fixture to call in other function to establish the session.
but here i have to define/hard code the login_id and password .I want to take the details at run time and then establish those value for this fixture all time and doesn't have to take again and again when i test the functions.

@SembeiNorimaki previously , it was not working as i was not adding the proper command line option , had to add "-s" as command argument. with this argument i am able to take the input at run time.
