Password Entry Confusing #141

Closed ellestad closed 9 months ago

ellestad commented 9 months ago

Some new Wynton users are confused that their password is not echoed to the screen as they type.

I think in the example from the getting started page, you should remove the Xs and specifically note that the password is not echoed to the screen.

{local}$ ssh alice@log1.wynton.ucsf.edu
alice@log1.wynton.ucsf.edu:s password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[alice@log1 ~]$
