This is something of an FYI.

I noticed this bit in your code:

I wasn't sure you were aware that there is a scripting addition for OS X
called System that has a password obfuscator. It works similar to the
Display Dialog keyword but replaces the text entered with bullets.

You can get it from macscripter.net
