I need my AppleScript Studio application to retrieve a user's password because the AppleScripts I am running require user authentication from the terminal. Any ideas? I'd like to get that pull-down dialog in apps like OnyX and TechTool Deluxe. Anyone know what I mean, at least?
Got a tip for us?

Look into Keychain access. The Keychain is an awesome Apple utility that stores passwords, and you have them automatically assigned to your app. Also you can turn on a special Keychain menu by accessing Keychain Access in Applications->Utilities.

No. But I suspect that either someone else here would or on the ADC forums. I'd also think that something may also be included with XCode Help.

There really aren't any ADC forums, that's why I turned here. Thanks TEG, I'll try a mailing list or something.
The Apple mailing lists are often very helpful. There is one called applescript-users that is probably relevant.
