Description

Prompts for SSH passphrases in a lightweight X11 dialog when graphical sessions need to unlock SSH keys. It is useful for desktop workflows where SSH agents request a passphrase outside a terminal.

This is a credential prompt helper. Users should trust the session before entering passphrases and avoid confusing it with unrelated password dialogs from unknown applications.
