Stephan's reply to my post says that this has been attempted before but no
one could find a way that worked on all of the platforms. I don't have any
better ideas so you probably shouldn't hold your breath on this idea ;-)

I imagine you could get the desired result if your <input> task prompted for
the 'yes'/'no' and then you used conditions to only prompt for the username
and password in a separate target. I haven't actually tried exactly what you
are describing but it seems like something that should work.

But I think you want to prompt for the 'yes'/'no' *and* the
username/password on the same dialog. I expect that would require major
changes to <input>.
