Description of the new feature/enhancement

first of all, I know Windows Terminal is not a pure SSH connection client, so is this really a reasonable good idea I'm not really sure.
please consider supporting "clone session", it's really useful for man who has to connect via “springboard machine / machine fortress” and through 2-factor(even 3-factor sometimes) verification/authentication.
application like SecureCRT has this function called "Clone Session". putty has similar "Duplication Session" but useless because that new connection is totally a raw flesh.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Thank you for the request! It's possible to duplicate an open profile right now, but it's not possible for us to duplicate anything more than that. Here's why:

The important things about an SSH session are:

  • Username
  • Server
  • Password or Authentication Context

Since the username and the server can be encoded in the commandline, ctrl+shift+d can easily duplicate them. However, the password (or the authentication information) cannot be copied because Terminal is not going to get into the password business. It would increase the security risk of our project, and it's not a good feature for a generic terminal.

We have some requests for SSH session management, however. This might be a /dupe of #1280.

You could just add wsl.exe -- sshpass -p password ssh user@ip to Windows Terminal configurations.

Instead of storing your password in a Terminal profile, and in the commandline of an application (which is trivially accessible to any other application on the system), you should be using public key authentication.

I need "Duplication Session" too. using duplicate exist socket, not remember password.
like "openssh controlmaster", but windows not support unix socket.
