Definitely digest too. This is probably it.

This I don't know.

Feel free to display your own UI. One problem with that is there's no
way to fully imitate the behavior of the built-in dialog. It comes up
three times if the user enters wrong credentials, before finally giving
up. But your Authenticate() method has to get it right the first time -
if it gives wrong credentials, the operation fails and it won't be
called again.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
