+Hello,
+
+I am on OS X, using version 5.20140613.  I installed using brew.
+
+I have a really simple example where I'm trying to use local rsync to test transfer between two repos.  It keeps asking me for a password over and over.  I do not know what password it is.
+
+I'm literally doing just this:
+
+    $ cd annex-tests
+    $ mkdir target
+    $ mkdir source
+    $ cat > source/text
+    hi this is a test
+    $ cd source
+    $ git init
+    Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/me/Documents/annex-tests/source/.git/
+    $ git annex init
+    init  ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    $ git annex initremote rsync-login type=rsync rsyncurl=me@localhost:/Users/me/Documents/annex-tests/target encryption=none
+    initremote rsync-login ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    $ git annex describe rsync-login "test rsync url with a login"
+    describe rsync-login ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    $ git annex add text 
+    add text ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    $ git annex sync rsync-login --content
+    commit  ok
+    copy text copy text (checking rsync-login...) Password:
+    Password:
+    Password:
+    Password:
+    Password:
+
+I try a blank password, I try my login password, I tried 'none' (the encryption type), I try everything..  no dice
+
+So right off the bat let me explain a few things.
+
+1 -  Why not use rsa keys?  Because I was having the exact same problem and I wanted to make it even easier and use login/password
+
+2 -  Why not use the webapp since a few forum posts say you can set passwords in there?  because my annex doesn't seem to recognize the command.
+
+    $ git annex webapp
+    git-annex: unknown command webapp
+
+3 -  I verified my rsync command/url appears ok by doing the following.  The password for that command is as expected, it is my username password:
+
+    $ cat > test2
+    hi test
+    $ rsync test2 me@localhost:/Users/me/Documents/annex-tests/target
+    Password:
+    $ cat /Users/me/Documents/annex-tests/target/test2
+    hi test
+
+
+Any help will be appreciated!
