I actually wrote a short script that I'd drop in peoples' .profile when 
ever they left it improperly protected as follows:

while :; do
     echo -n "login: "
     read foo
     echo -n "password: "
     stty -echo
     read foo
     stty echo
     echo
     sleep 1
done


It would also trap the appropriate control key sequences.
