What issue are you seeing?

If codex do on screen display his actually "run" lines and server connects, passwords are visible on the screen. I think this can be done better and passwords get on display only ***** - and will be only show IF a user do aske for a pssword, not in thousand times by running-actions...

By the way, THANKS for making codex, its a fine nice app 🥇 Codex helps me to build a nice linux server codex app and frontend, for work with codex and LLM`s for large size project management, organigrams, timelines, connects on forgejo, paperless, matrix, codex native and multi-chat knots workspace... ;)) Its a soooo handy to work with codex - as absolut beginner and no programmer i LOVE IT ++

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Just use codex with ssh server connect jobs ...

TL;DR

Masking passwords on the screen when running Codex with SSH server connections is likely the most straightforward fix.

Guidance

  • Review the Codex configuration to see if there's an option to mask or hide passwords when displaying "run" lines.
  • Investigate if Codex has a feature to only show passwords when a user explicitly requests them, rather than displaying them by default.
  • Consider modifying the SSH connection setup to use a more secure method, such as SSH keys or environment variables, to avoid exposing passwords.
  • Look into Codex's documentation or community resources for existing solutions or workarounds for this issue.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details, so these suggestions are based on general principles of secure password handling.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as using SSH keys or environment variables, to avoid exposing passwords on the screen, as this approach is more secure and likely to be compatible with Codex.
