How could the content be improved?

In the part of the git lesson about setting up an ssh key we should note that when typing in passwords in terminal, there is no feedback (ie your cursor doesn't move, you don't see your display changing, etc.). We had several learners in a workshop today who thought their computer had frozen and was being non-responsive.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

Yes, that was raised by multiple people in the workshop I was teaching on today.
