Description of problem: There's a dialog to ask for the username but the label for the text input field says Password. An user may tend to enter its password (whatever for a given user name). This password is shown in the next dialog as the user name, this second dialog asks for the "real" password. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ksshaskpass-5.7.3-1.fc24.x86_64 git-2.7.4-2.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login to a plasma5 session 2. open terminal 3. git pull origin master Actual results: ksshaskpass pops up a dialog that asks for password or user, it's not clear what it wants to get entered. Expected results: The dialog asks for either user name or password, not both. There's nowhere the password shown in clear text. Additional info: Maybe this is a translation bug? Or is it because there's one dialog template only with a fixed label value. This is a security issue because it's possible to see the password in clear text.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
