My systems are configured not to use passwords during normal operation. This means that the only times I see password prompts are due to Fabric/Paramiko failures where a low-level network failure somehow causes fabric to be caught in a Control-C-eating loop:

[…] Passphrase for private key:
[…] Login password:

I would prefer to simply disable password prompting as a feature and have my scripts fail quickly.
