My bank uses double identification (website + mobile app). When the
mobile app asks for a pin to confirm a payment, it displays the payment
information. So I know that the confirmation request comes from the
payment I just initiated, and that it's not a random window that pops up
from nowhere.
I think the Authentication Dialog should work the same way, displaying
information from the originating application, something like:
The application "foo bar" is requesting authentication for
"doing this and that".
For example:
==================================
Authentication request
The application "Software Update" is requesting authentication for
"installing gnome-maps, gnome-photos, gnome-foo, gnome-bar"
Please enter...
Password: [_____________]
==================================
If the explanation string starts to be long,
there could be a summary string,
and a longuer one in a collapsable container (or alike)
For example:
==================================
Authentication request
The application "Software Update" is requesting authentication for
"installing gnome-maps, gnome-photos, gnome-foo, gnome-bar" and more...
