# TODO: if unl0kr or the redirection fails unexpectedly, this will sit here indefinitely
# (well, user can use /dev/stdin to auth -- if that's wired to a usable input device)
# could either:
# - reduce login tries to 1.
# - wait on `unl0kr` to complete _before_ starting `login`
# - wait on `unl0kr` to complete _before_ starting `login`, and re-introduce a timeout to `login`
# i.e. `pw=$(unl0kr); (sleep 1 && echo "$pw" | redirect-tty "/dev/(tty)") &; login -p <user>`
# but modified to not leak pword to CLI
# - implement some sort of watchdog (e.g. detect spawned children?)
# - set a timeout at the outer scope (which gets canceled upon successful login)
