Description

Open up a popup input dialog box.

This dialog box will show a prompt message, and allow the user to type in their username and password. When the user is done, they can press "OK" or "Cancel". If "OK" is pressed, this function will attempt to validate the User credentials against the Authentication Profile. If "Cancel" is pressed, this function will return False.
