What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start SSHFS and create a new setting
2. Select "Identity"
3. Type anything in the passphrase box
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Show asterisk or bullets
Observed: Shows actual characters, readable to anyone walking nearby
Preferred: Instead of a passphrase or password input, use a pop-up which
appears only after pressing "connect", and in which the password/passphrase is
hidden.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6.0 on WinXP
Please provide any additional information below.
Although password display does not effect cryptographic security, since screens
can often be seen over the shoulder, particularly with laptops, internet cafe,
or workplace computers, it is still important that the password is not
displayed in a readable fashion.
This is particularly true for passphrases, since, unlike passwords, they are
commonly reused between many sites (like a master password), since it is the
key that needs to change, not the passphrase.
