SSH Passwords Show

[theNerd247]

Is there a way to make the passwords invisible when inputting them upon request?
When I run git deploy it requests my SSH password, however when I type it in it displays it on the terminal which is a slight security issue.

The solution may be a personal terminal config, however I doubt it as this is the only program I've ever installed that does this.

I'd like to know how to hide it as well. Personally I use passwordless SSH though (key auth) so I never have to deal with this issue.

I don't know Ruby (though I would like to, however time doesn't permit currently). Though, could you point me to where in the code it calls for SSH commands? I'm going to assume that it's SSH that's requesting the terminal input for passwords, not git-deploy

Is it asking for "sudo password" when you're seeing your password in plain text? Then it might be the askpass method used here. It's probably not perfectly cross-platform so you should tell us what system you're using.

No, it was showing it for the init command and it was my user SSH pasword, not sudo. I'm on Arch Linux (linux kernel version: 3.16.1-1).

You sure it was the init command? Since init just generates the post-deployment scripts in your application directory; it doesn't actually connect to SSH.

correct, sorry. It was after init when I performed step 4 in the Initial Setup.
