Agreed.

ACK.

But unrelated to your patch, how does this work with i18n?  Obviously,
translating "%s: " is useless.  Is cred[i].prompt previously translated
somewhere earlier in the caller?  I ask, because I'm not sure whether all
locales are okay with ': ' as the prompt tail, and wonder whether it
should be inlined into the translated prompt, which in turn would simplify
this part to puts(cred[i].prompt).
