From: Michael Albinus <michael.albinus <at> gmx.de> To: 34145 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#34145: 27.0.50; Writing .authinfo needs better confirmation Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 11:51:11 +0100
A Tramp user has reported recently, that writing a password into .authinfo happened too easily, without proper confirmation request. Granted, there was a `y-or-no-p' style question, but obviously he has accepted w/o thinking too much. See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2019-01/msg00054.html>. Since this is sensible data, he proposes to make it harder to confirm. `auth-source-netrc-saver' should offer an alternative confirmation prompt, more like `yes-or-no-p'. Which prompt to apply should be configurable.
