Hmm. Does it mean you have set auth-sources to nil? There is a possible
error indeed in tramp-read-passwd for this case. Could you, please,
apply the appended patch?

Furthermore, Tramp caches the passwords indeed. If auth-sources is not
enabled, it uses the function password-read from
password-cache.el. However, the password is cached just for
password-cache-expiry seconds (16 by default). If you want to disable
this, set password-cache to nil. See the Tramp manual, at the bottom of
(info "(tramp) Password handling")

I have no idea where the changed behavior you've described comes from.

Best regards, Michael.
