Yes, I know about ask password, but I want a login dialog with more than one field: user name and password. User name should be in clear text, but the password obscured. I would love it if ask password gave you a multi-field option, but since it doesn't, I have to roll my own.

Actually, with some help from Chipp, Yves, Richard and others, I have a solution that works pretty well. I'll post it when I've thoroughly tested it.

All,
I'm writing an app that simulates a network server login on Mac OS X. I want the password field to behave just like normal password fields in OS X; i.e., bullet characters appear in place of clear text. I've sorta kinda got it working by trapping the keydown message in the password field, but it's quirky. Before I spend a lot of time on this, I thought I'd ask: Has anyone done this and would mind sharing a script?

It's built in. If you want an encrypted password back:

 ask password "Enter your password"

If you want clear text back:

 ask password clear "Enter your password"

Both return the user entry in the variable "it".
