can't install more than one private github repo in windows

[emcpadden]

I am using Bower on windows and I have several dependencies in bower.json and two of these dependencies point to private repos in github.

When I do a bower install, I am prompted for the username of the 1st private repo and then after I type it in but before it asks me for the password, I get prompted for the username of the 2nd private repo. This makes it so that I can't enter the password of the 1st private repo.

I wish this would work. I'd be fine if you can add a command line switch that makes each dependency check synchronous.

I get the same issue from Windows PowerShell when trying to install/update where there are multiple dependencies that are private repos (not just GitHub).

I get multiple username/password prompts appearing in a sequence that makes it impossible to enter credentials, e.g. 4 x username in a row, password/username prompts with labels interchanged (but password ones are still masked).

The only workaround I've found so far is to use HTTPS, with credentials being saved using https://gitcredentialstore.codeplex.com.

Wow ... thanks Cryptarcadian! That solves my problem! This is a big help.

@benschwarz @sindresorhus I think we should disable interactivity at all and use askpass feature as described in #1009 to pass username & password to git.
