[SOLVED] Use GNOME prompt for ssh askpass
When i use git (with ssh) or general ssh use, when it prompts me for my password, i want it to use GNOME's prompt instead of asking me it on the terminal. I have seen that such prompt exsists, because on other distros, such as gentoo, it used the GNOME prompt by default. This bothers me because, well, i have my ssh password in a password manager that has a very long password and its a pain to do this every time i want to git push or ssh into another device.

Re: [SOLVED] Use GNOME prompt for ssh askpass
Thanks for what?
You previously responded that you don't want to use gcr-ssh-agent so maybe start by explaining what "password manager that has a very long password" and agent you're currently using.
Or in doubt see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GnuPG#SSH_agent but right now I don't even understand what you envision or how "GNOME's prompt" (whatever you mean by that) would be less of "a pain to do this"

Re: [SOLVED] Use GNOME prompt for ssh askpass
I changed my mind and used gcr-ssh-agent anyway. I use KeePassXC for storing my SSH password and for security reasons it has a very long password. GNOME's prompt is like a prompt that GNOME itself gives when you try to use ssh, instead of asking the password in the terminal, GNOME's GUI asks it and remembers it.

Re: [SOLVED] Use GNOME prompt for ssh askpass
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KeePass#Secret_Service should atomatically integrate w/ gnome and can act as ssh agent, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KeePass#SSH_agent ?
