From: =?UTF-8?q?Jaros=C5=82aw=20Honkis?= <[email protected]> When a user is asked for credentials there is no need to mask the username, so the PROMPT_ASKPASS flag on calling credential_ask_one for login is unnecessary.
The `credential_ask_one()` function internally uses `git_prompt()` which in case it is given the flag PROMPT_ASKPASS uses masked input method instead of git_terminal_prompt, which does not mask user input.
