Thank you for the bug report.

I believe that this has already been fixed on the current master
branch.  When I added the string "Enter your password: " to the test
suite for comint-password-prompt-regexp, the test passed with no
further changes.

You could try building the current master branch to verify that this
works for you.  I've attached a patch containing an addition to the
test suite which I'll push to the master branch.
