SUMMARY
The usual prompt by sshd is like this:
"user@host's password:"
For some reason, a major compute cluster at my university has a custom prompt
like this:
"(user@host) Password:"
So I get a message like this:
"ksshaskpass: Unable to parse phrase "(jm3...@viking.york.ac.uk) Password: ""
and it doesn't save the password.
To fix this would it be possible to have a config file where I can put in a
regex format string for the prompt, or could the program default to saving the
exact string if it can't parse it?
I don't know how or why this server has the prompt that it does.
If it helps, the server is running "Flight Direct r2023.1 Based on Rocky Linux
8.9".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Visit a server with a custom password prompt
2. Enter a password and select save password
3. Logoff and connect again
OBSERVED RESULT
Password isn't saved
EXPECTED RESULT
Password is saved
