| If you are using password authentication, you can enter your password directly on [[ui_login#session_settings|Login dialog]]. Otherwise WinSCP will prompt you once a server asks for it. You will be prompted again, if you enter invalid password. Also note that most of the servers will "prompt" for password when you use invalid username, not to allow attacker to learn if particular account exists. | If you are using password authentication, you can enter your password directly on [[ui_login#session_settings|Login dialog]].

| For SSH keyboard-interactive, TIS or Cryptocard authentication methods the server can issue its own prompt. Most of the SSH servers use keyboard-interactive authentication just as a different method for getting the account password; for this reason, WinSCP by default responds to the first keyboard-interactive prompt with the password entered on the Login dialog (if any). To disable this behavior unset the keyboard-interactive authentication option //[[ui_login_authentication#ki|Respond with password to the first prompt]]//. | For SSH keyboard-interactive, TIS or Cryptocard authentication methods the server can issue its own prompt.
