This question has been asked before in 2009:

(Begin quote)

Tightvnc-1.3.10 prompted for a password in the terminal from which it was
started. When using a -via ssh tunnel, both password prompts conveniently
occurred in the same terminal.

Now that I have switched to tigervnc-1.0, it raises a password prompt window
in X.

Can we have an option to use the terminal password prompt?

(End quote)

I second this request. The current X based prompt is not keyboard accessible. 
It forces a user to click in the input box before typing the password.

If directing the password prompt back to the terminal is not technically 
feasible, is it possible to have the X input automatically selected without 
requiring a mouse click? This would provide a similar convenience.
