Auto-login to ssh when putting the wrong password

[Federico Vera]

Save a ssh password on the connect to server windows (as seen on the screenshot).

The efect is that any short (let's say three character long) password entered is translated in the real password and the user is granted access.

This is just plain wrong, if the password is being remembered it should be cristal clear (at least some asteriks on the text field).
Maybe the best solution is to remove the "remember password" option.

Thanks for using Ubuntu and reporting this bug! I've confirmed it in Precise.

I disagree that it is a security bug, as invalid passwords are only accepted if the valid password has previously been saved. I see it as a UI bug around a feature that happens to relate to security (remote login). As a result, I'm removing the security label from this report.
