Publishedrpassword maintainers were made aware of a possible issue with a partial password reveal when input is interrupted. To quote @squell: > @conradkleinespel I've confirmed this problem with SequoiaPGP, which I think uses rpassword, e.g.: > > Suppose we use pkill -9 sq in a different terminal right after the password has been typed in: > > $ sq key generate --userid "barf" --with-password > Enter password to protect the key: Killed > $ hello^C > > Where the password I typed in is "hello". This has been fixed in version v7.5.0 and above.
