Then I could use the terminal and

FWIW, when I plug in a USB encrypted backup drive, it has a popup passphrase
window which also locks out all other windows. I show my passphrase and use
CTRL-SHIFT-C to copy it before plugging in the drive, then use CTRL-SHIFT-V to
paste it into the popup window. I suppose this is not as secure as it should
be, but it's good enough for me.
