assessment for GNOME dialog asking for user passphrase
Hi,
I've filed a gnome-shell bug (see link below) for a change in modal
dialog I see when connecting to an ssh server using public key
authentication. The Fedora 28 dialog shows the key name, the Fedora 29
dialog is generic, I can only guess by time proximity what I'm
entering the passphrase for.
Question is whether this constitutions an "important" security bug or
higher. The bug has screenshots for both the F28 and F29 dialogs in
question.
