Right now, you only get once chance to enter your password/passphrase. Make it repeat the question once or twice.

Maybe fix simultaneously with issue #9.

Didn't fix along with issue #9 because I noted that OpenSSH's behavior is such that it doesn't ask again for the password/passphrase. That may not be enough reason not to, but it deserves some thought. FWIW, ssh-agent does repeat, so it may be worth doing at least on the key passphrase, which doesn't require a round-trip with the server.

It turns out that OpenSSH can and does ask again for the password, depending on the configuration.
