Ansible uses different prompts for passwords. See these examples (tested
with ansible-playbook [core 2.18.3]):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass playbook.yml
Vault password:

# ansible-playbook --vault-id dev <at> prompt playbook.yml
Vault password (dev):

# ansible-playbook --ask-pass playbook.yml
SSH password:

# ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass playbook.yml
BECOME password:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've pushed the password prompts to comint-password-prompt-regexp in the
master branch. Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
