Description: Cross-platform utilities for prompting the user for
        credentials or a passphrase, for example to authenticate with a
        server or read a protected key. Includes native programs for
        MacOS and Windows, hence no 'tcltk' is required. Password entry
        can be invoked in two different ways: directly from R via the
        askpass() function, or indirectly as password-entry back-end
        for 'ssh-agent' or 'git-credential' via the SSH_ASKPASS and
        GIT_ASKPASS environment variables. Thereby the user can be
        prompted for credentials or a passphrase if needed when R calls
        out to git or ssh.
