Thanks for the report.  This is a duplicate of Bug#35724 that has
already been fixed on master.  I'm merging these bugs and closing.

Author: Matthew Bauer <mjbauer95 <at> gmail.com>

    Add "Enter Auth" prompt handling for OpenVPN (Bug#35724)

    * lisp/comint.el (comint-password-prompt-regexp): Allow "Enter Auth"
    at the beginning.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
