;; ssh-add prints a prompt like `Enter passphrase: '.
;; plink prints a prompt like `Passphrase for key "root@GNU.ORG": '.
;; Ubuntu's sudo prompts like `[sudo] password for user:'
;; Some implementations of passwd use "Password (again)" as the 2nd prompt.
;; Something called "perforce" uses "Enter password:".
;; OpenVPN prints a prompt like: "Enter Auth Password:".
;; OpenBSD doas prints "doas (user@host) password:".
;; See ert test `comint-test-password-regexp'.
