"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.
