You get a popup when you ssh into any server.

SUMMARY
I installed updates and I started getting GUI popups when I login to SSH via
KDE Neon 24.04

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. SSH into a server
2. root at host.example.com
3. Get a popup enter SSH credentials

OBSERVED RESULT
You can login, but the popup is unexpected. Normally, it displays the login in
the terminal, not as a popup. Also, as a side effect, if you enter the wrong
password, it will ask you to login repeatedly until the end server stops your
attempts. You can't Ctrl+C cancel the login. Clicking the cancel button doesn't
work either. It simply asks you to login again. This repeated login can get
your IP blocked by the end server because it thinks you're trying to brute
force login. You have to kill you entire SSH window which causes other issues.
I just want the old login style.

EXPECTED RESULT
You should get the login prompt in the terminal, not as a popup.
