Description

SSH key passphrases can be requested through a modern GNOME credential dialog backed by gcr. It helps graphical tools unlock SSH keys when ssh-add needs confirmation but no terminal prompt is available.

The helper handles sensitive passphrase entry, so it should be used only in trusted sessions. Unexpected prompts deserve caution, especially when working with private repositories or production systems.
