HI Ralph. I dropped that since it posed a security issue. When using password authentication nyx provides a prompt, then drop the reference so the memory can be released (if someone knows a better way of purging a password from memory in python I'm all ears). I'd suggest cookie authentication if y

Hi Ralph, I think there's some confusion about the ssh verses tor password. All I'm suggesting is that instead of 'HashedControlPassword' you use 'CookieAuthentication 1' in your torrc instead. This is discussed a bit on the following in case you'd care to read more... https://stem.torproject.org/
