Wrong again folks! The reason to use the 'real' password dialog is
because the real password dialog gets presented to the user by the
Security Server - the part of the OS that actually
handles/allows/disallows user authentication. Bypassing it is not a
good idea!

Surely you realize that a 'clever' password sniffer could simply
duplicate the Apple-standard dialog?
The real reason to use the Apple-standard is for consistency's sake
and because it's easier.
