I got same problem ([https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29483](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29483)) for Ansible 2.7.5 and 2.5.1.  
Only difference is that password prompt is hidden and thus, the task hangs continuously.

that is, when sending a file from remote server A to remote server B,  
the synchronize module’s trying to connect to B with same username used when connecting to A.

Does anyone know how I can use different username when connecting to B.

used ansible versions are as follow,

ansible 2.7.5  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/home/test/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.12 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:36:49) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]

ansible 2.5.1  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) [GCC 7.3.0]
