The solution is to pass ignoreFocusOut: true in getUsername() and getPassword() in class UserPasswordAuth:

    getUsername(credentials) {
        return vscodeHelpers_1.showInputBox({ /* ... */, ignoreFocusOut: true }, true)
            .then(username => {
            credentials.username = username;
        });
    }
    getPassword(credentials) {
        return vscodeHelpers_1.showInputBox({ /* ... */, ignoreFocusOut: true, password: true }, true)
            .then(password => {
            credentials.password = password;
        });
    }

Yeah, this is annoying, and means I have to copy the password from my password manager, go to VS Code, press the key combo, type the user name in, wait for the password box - and hope that by the time I've done all that, my password is still in the clipboard (hasn't been cleared by the pwd manager)...!

If I could type the user name, then get the password box, and go to the pwd manager to copy the password, without the box in VS Code disappearing, that would ease this a lot.

Also makes it impossible to use when username is randomly generated too, which I have on publicly exposed container instances to make them a little harder to break in to.

We have internally discussed this issue and have decided not to accept this issue to be fixed at the moment to prioritize other issues. We will keep this open to possibly be fixed in the future. Thank you for raising this concern (and for the suggested fix too!).
