I think that you can use a dialog box with a gtk_entry and set the
visibility to false with the function :
gtk_entry_set_visibility(GtkEntry *entry, gboolean visible).
Setting visible to FALSE replace all caracters of the entry to a '*'
The gtk_entry_get_text or better gtk_editable_get_chars function may be use
to read the entry ...
