#2634 FR IOProtocolExt: hide password and make private key path selection easier

[Michael Grübsch]

Feature Request for IOProtocolExt-1.16:

I am using IOProtocolExt for connecting via SFTP when synchronizing with URL. Private Key is at its default location %USERPROFILE%.ssh.

It would be great if you add the following features (in descending priority) to the Advanced tab of the "Synchronize with URL" Dialog:

1. "Passphrase for encrypted private keys and client certificates": use a password field which hides the characters
2. "SSH private key path": if file is not found and path is not absolute look for the file at its default location in %USERPROFILE%.ssh or ~/.ssh
3. otherwise: remember private key path optionally
4. otherwise: make a browse button to the file system available
5. best option: allow to link to an attachment of an entry in the database (I have my private key attached to the corresponding entry too)

Thanks for your work
Michael

KeePass version 2.57.1 + IOProtocolExt version 2.4.1 + KeeAgent 0.13.8.0 actually somewhat allow to achieve something very similar to (5). Few more details here.
