I stand corrected, I didn't express myself very well and I only meant the root password and own password for sudo.

I'm not insisting that all password requests should acquire total focus, but those that try to implement such a thing should be consistent and stable. I didn't do an analysis of what needs passwords and what not, but I think all system configuration triggered by GUI and which requires additional privileges should do this grab. The password safe should implement some extra security itself too.
