Is there a way to prompt for password instead of hard coding it?

[ding-qin]

Here is my configuration for sftp-based remote workspace, and I don't want to provide password in clear text in this file, so is there a way to pop up asking for password?

{ "folders": [{ "uri": "sftp://[email protected]/", "name": "test" }] }

[GinoMan]

Yes! See below:

{ "folders": [ { "uri": "sftp://[email protected]/?tryKeyboard=1", "name": "test" } ] }

You can find all the different url parameters here.

Thanks GinoMan, tried but there is no pop-up window asking for password. My VS Code is 1.28.2, btw.

The same problem for me. It does not ask for any password to enter, just shows failed connection.

@GinoMan Doesn't work for me either.

You need to URL encode the @ as %40.

No prompt w/ param ?tryKeyboard=1 on version 1.29.1 either.

No prompt for password, the connection fails. I wrote a bunch of debug details, then saw a previous discussion and deleted everything... trykeyboard is not meant to ask for a password.

So, is it possible to add this feature?
