I'm not the original poster, but I have had the same concern for a while. Let
me clarify the issue.
When the kdevelop/ksshaskpass doesn't know the git username yet, it shows a
ksshaskpass dialog for username first, then another for password. Once we
configure the project to remember username, it just shows one for password.
The two dialogs look almost identical but ask for totally different things.
When the user is expecting just the password dialog, almost certainly s/he
would just type her password. This causes three issues.
1. On the screen, she would type her password without masking. Oops.
2. Furthermore, kdevelop remembers the credential! Next time it will show a
dialog that asks for password on "http://your_password_here:github.com/bluh/";
without masking. Ooooops.
3. Finally, there is no easy way to make kdevelop forget this setting.
Oooooooooops.

My suggestion is to show just one dialog in all cases (or zero dialog once the
project remembers both username and password). Make it very clear which input
box is username, which is password. Also, there should be a way to easily make
kdevelop forget the 'username'.
