Bug Description
Using Grsync to perform a remote to local backup does not work, as the password dialog is never shown; this happened in earlier releases with a basic X11 dialog, I guess using ssh-askpass. This may be linked to the switch to Wayland, which does not use Xresources/xinitrc anymore.
The very same rsync command works fine from Terminal.

Using Grsync to perform a remote to local backup works OK (grsync 1.2.6/ubuntu 18.04 LTS), just run on the local server ssh-keygen then ssh-copy-id to the remote server and grsync will complete sync not asking for the password.
