I don't know if there's an API, but I can tell you that it is extremely
unlikely that it will be sandbox compatible. Unless I am severely mistaken,
sand boxing is not designed to let you see details like that because
whether or not the user has a password is of no concern to an app in the
Mac App Store.
You may be able to get what you need through the defaults system,
particularly in regards to the screensaver... you will very likely need
temporary entitlements though.
