Shouldn't need to go to terminal to enter ssh password

Description

When the backup destination is a SSH folder, one needs to go back to the terminal to answer "yes" to accept the key, and then enter the password manually. The is nothing in the "Details" window indicating that the user should check the terminal for these questions. They should instead be asked directly to the user using popup windows. Because of this problem, the backup just looks like it crashed or is not functioning. I think this is a major issue for the users. Perhaps there is a way to use gnome-keyring?

It should pop up a dialog asking for your password if you don't run it from a terminal, i.e. select it from the gnome menu.

Perfect, it does.
