[Bug 1681110] [NEW] Passphrase dialog window shouldn't be system modal

[macho]

Public bug reported:

The dialog that collects the user's passphrase shouldn't be modal (or at
least system-wide modal) dialog. It makes things more difficult for
those using password management software. By the same token, why can't
the password more unobtrusively be collected from the command line?
