WPKG Client is able to do it.
You have to use WPKG (wpkg.js) 1.1.x to use this feature (/sendStatus - see mailing lists for usage).
As this is a development version, it's still not perfect, but it gives you what you want, more or less.

Might be a good idea.
Ctrl + X + Y -> give a password, if correct, show the logon box.
