> Why can't I enter my password when I `:Gpush`?
It is highly recommended to use SSH keys or [credentials caching][] to avoid
entering your password on every upstream interaction. If this isn't an
option, the official solution is to use the `core.askPass` Git option to
request the password via a GUI. Fugitive will configure this for you
automatically if you have `ssh-askpass` or `git-gui` installed; otherwise it's
your responsibility to set this up.
As an absolute last resort, you can invoke `:Git --paginate push`. Fugitive
recognizes the pagination request and fires up a `:terminal`, which allows for
interactive password entry.
