--- Comment #2 from Salvador Fandiño <sfandino@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Checking just for /[:?]/ is not something that ocurred to me alone, but the
result of lots of feedback from users. Checking for /password|passphrase/ on
the other hand is quite a bad idea as that would break authentication against
systems where the locale is not English based.

I don't think it is possible to come to some regular expression that would
catch all the possibilities. That is the reason the door is open for unhandled
cases as the one you are facing through the password_prompt option.

In any case, at this point it is too late to change the regular expressions
used for password prompt detection as that would break lots of existant scripts
and that is unaceptable to me (I am upstream, btw :-)
