Re: Telling Tramp NOT to use authinfo.gpg

[Gleb Nemshilov]

Hi Michael!

Thank you, it works perfectly!

However it changes the prompt message and I understand why it happens. The 
original function has a lot of code, and I couldn't find which part is 
responsible for the prompt message. Is it possible to get similar behaviour and 
see the name of the user/host for which I enter the password?
