Comment (by pastly):

 Replying to [comment:2 mcs]:
 > The text "Please enter the private key for your identity with this onion
 service" is too long to use as the placeholder text (the graytext inside
 the key textbox).  After we fix #34369 the `Learn more` link within the
 prompt will point to https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/client-
 auth/ which does mention that the private key is not transmitted to the
 onion service. Is it then enough to only change the introductory text as
 shown in the following screenshot?

 To the extent you are asking for my opinion, I agree that fully
 implementing this comment (fixing #34369 and changing the text as in the
 screenshot) would solve this issue.
