There are Master, Account & Token PIN passwords used in TB to gain
access to the program and/or specific accounts. Additionally we have
the password to access a given account at the mail host. It is
valuable to have a difference in the dialog for each so the user is
clear as to which password is required. Assuming a password is a
password is a password is dangerous in my opinion. I want my customers
to easily recognize which password is required. Anyone knows that the
need for a password is to gain access. Not everyone knows why and for
what purpose. Therefore there is an obvious need for distinction in
the differing dialogs so one knows which password is required.
