Password-based remotes don't work

[SigmaBonder]

In the rclone config file, human-readable passwords have to be obscured.
Currently, they don't seem to be, which results in this error when trying to use password-based remotes like SSH:
input too short when revealing password - is it obscured?
I hope I'm not exaggerating this issue here, as the only password-based remote I tested was SSH, but it seems reasonable to assume that the issue will be common to all of those.

Thanks, I'm able to reproduce this with SMB. I'll investigate.

Looks like this is a bug in rclone. I can reproduce it on the command line.

In one terminal:

rclone rcd --rc-no-auth

In another terminal:

rclone config create test smb --non-interactive --all
# Hostname
rclone config update test --non-interactive --continue --state "*all-set,0,false" --result hostname --all
# Username
rclone config update test --non-interactive --continue --state "*all-set,1,false" --result username --all
# Port number
rclone config update test --non-interactive --continue --state "*all-set,2,false" --all
# Password
rclone config update test --non-interactive --continue --state "*all-set,3,false" --result foobar --obscure --all

Resulting config:

$ cat ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
[test]
type = smb
host = hostname
user = username
port =
pass = foobar

Seems like rclone doesn't respect the --obscure flag in the configuration API. (RSAF uses the same option, but programmatically.) I'll see if I can work around this.

I submitted an upstream bug report for this: rclone/rclone#7069 I'll make RSAF explicitly obscure the password in the meantime.
