SUMMARY When prompting for authentication, the entered username is shown with blanked characters (same as password) thus confusing the user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a new github account; 2. git remote add origin https://github.com/xxx/xxx.git OBSERVED RESULT Password dialog appears. EXPECTED RESULT Username dialog should appear.
Not just git remote add origin, in my experience any git commands requiring authentication results in this bug.
Can confirm in version 5.27.6 It displays: Username for `https://git.domain.tld/`: Password: _________ [ ] Remeber password [ OK ] [Cancel] and then Password for: `https://YourPassword123@git.domain.tld`: Password: _________ [ ] Remeber password [ OK ] [Cancel] Label right of edit box should be changed in the first case from "Password:" to "Login:".
