Created attachment 168180 [details] "Password:" label and "Remember password" checkbox when expecting a "yes/no/fingerprint" Hi all, I don't know if this is a bug or intended behavior, but when I connected to Github's SSH server I was prompted via ksshaskpassword if I trusted their host key (yes/no/fingerprint). The issue is that ksshaskpass has a "Password:" label, the output is obfuscated, and there is a "Remember password" checkbox. The result is that my "yes" turns into a "***". Not a big deal, but I found it puzzling for a second. Luckily the prompt was telling what options would be accepted. Terminal log: ``` Cloning into 'repo'... ksshaskpass: Unable to parse phrase "The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.121.3)' can't be established.\nED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbpZisF/zLDA0zPMSvHdkr4UvCOqU.\nThis key is not known by any other names.\nAre you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? " # accidently enters ssh key password, displayed as "********" ksshaskpass: Unable to parse phrase "Please type 'yes', 'no' or the fingerprint: " # enters "yes", displayed as "***" Warning: Permanently added 'github.com' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts. ```
