The original commit looked so simple and straightforward, but these
user-password-things never are... so thanks for fixing that omission.
I have not tested it, but if Arne ACKs it - and the code looks more
logical now, just using "password_from_stdin" as an indicator, not
multiple nested variants.
I'm not sure if this could be considered a "bug", but it's definitely
irritating behaviour for GUI users ("no credentials in file" leads to
"both are queried from mgmt" while "username inlined" leads to "password
queried from console only") so for a low minor version number, this
definitely qualified as "we want to fix this in the current release".
Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.7 branch.
