Summary

openssh sets a SSH_ASKPASS_PROMPT env var to help instruct the askpass program what to do. I've looked through the code, and believe it supports:

• confirm - yes/no question
• none - information only?
• '' empty or missing, anything else? - input

An example implementation of using this can be found at https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/94bf1154b4132727114f222a587daeac101f1f5b/contrib/gnome-ssh-askpass2.c#L172-L185

This may be more reliable that only looking at certain messages, although it is probably best to leave the regex alone, just to continue to ensure behavior matching with sshpass.
