Eshell uses the `eshell-watch-for-password-prompt' filter, which uses
`eshell-password-prompt-regexp' for password prompt detection.

This variable has been changed recently to be derived from
`password-word-equivalents'; chances are good that in Emacs 24.4 it
works out of the box.

However, it might be useful to see an example eshell session which
doesn't hide the password, in order to check. The example should be
faked with ****** as password, of course :-)

Which Emacs version are you using, btw?

Best regards, Michael.
