Hello,

When using ssh to connect to a machine, the password prompt is expected
to be identical in the shell buffer and mini buffer.

The mini buffer's prompt seems to make use of only the last character.

See

  http://sdf.org/~van.ly/img/emacs-30-0-91-password-prompt.webp

The shell buffer's password prompt shows

  van@192.168.1.144's password:

The mini buffer shows

  4's password:

Further attempts to backout using C-g and RET may show on the mini buffer

  44's password:

To demonstrate,

 0. start, emacs -Q
 1. use, M-x shell
 2. use, ssh to connect to machine (ssh is unconfigured)

 X. expect the mini buffer password prompt to be more meaningfully
    related to the actual prompt in the shell buffer

I can confirm this bug.  I did not report it but I've seen this only
when the host is just an IP address.

Also, the color scheme for the theme `modus-vivendi-tinted' represents
that "4" with an unreadable foreground/background color combination to
my eyes anyway.  It looked gray on gray IIRC.
