Gerard Braad commented on JBIDE-25260:
--------------------------------------

[~mmalina]To provide a better user experience, wouldn't it be possible verify the entered credentials? I understand that when entered they can still expire (for instance, changed) but verifying is just a simple POST or GET away... right?

But as mentioned, we implemented the interactive entering this way to prevent echoing to the console, but it seems that the console does not support PTY support, and even echoes the password when entered (before sending it to the application). Is this really what you want? Because we received complaints from customers that we showed the password even in a verbose output, or kept it in memory too long.
