Originally created by @tiolan on GitHub (Aug 25, 2020).

I connect from Windows Terminal (either cdm or ps) to Ubuntu 20.04 via ssh using password-only authorization.
My password has a special case "ü".
(I do not want to start a discussion on whether this is good practice or not)

The password is not accepted.
I verified with putty that everything works fine.
When typing "ü" in the terminal, I get the correct character.

Screenshot:
PS C:\Users\xxxxxx> ssh dev@Ubuntu-dev.mshome.net
Password:
Password:

Windows Terminal
Version: 1.1.2233.0

Note: This might not be directly related to Terminal, since I see the same problem with PS directly. Feel free to forward to the correct place.

This feels like a PowerShell issue. Are you using stock PowerShell, or PowerShell Core?

This is the version I use:

PS C:\Users\xxxxx> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion
Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
5      1      19041  1

It is the one originally delivered with standard Windows.
Note: Using either powershell or cmd results in the same issue.

@tiolan Which ssh are you using? ssh.exe that ships with Windows? ssh from a WSL distro? Or some other ssh? And which version of ssh?

Hey @zadjii-msft ,

I am using this one:

PS C:\Users\xxxxx> Get-Command ssh
CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Application     ssh.exe                                            7.7.2.1    C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe

It is the one coming with standard Windows. Nothing else is installed, also WSL is not installed.

Thanks @KalleOlaviNiemitalo ,
looks like a duplicate - I face the same problem. I will find out how to upgrade to v8.
