Subject: bug#51666: 28.0.60; comint-password-prompt-regexp too restrictive (again)
Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2021 17:32:50 +0100

On one of my systems, when using ssh in shell-mode (M-x shell), the
password prompt does not appear in the minibuffer but only in the
*shell* buffer directly under the ssh invocation, and the password is
not hidden when it's entered.  The password prompt has this form:

(user <at> host) Password:

and comint-password-prompt-regexp fails to match it.  By contrast,
eshell-password-prompt-regexp does match this prompt.  This is with
openssh-8.6p1.  The fix in bug#43003 doesn't help here.
