Subject: bug#34145: 27.0.50; Writing .authinfo needs better confirmation
Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 11:51:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8736pn8uw0.fsf@gmx.de> (raw)
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.
