The texts of the two labels don't really match.
Either
'Home' & 'Work'
or
'Personal' & 'Professional'
I'd suggest the latter, as your name at Home is the
same as your name at Work.

I'm curious about what happens to the current password
and the authenticate button after I have
authenticated.
Do they both grey out?
And what about the new password fields before I have
authenticated? Logically, they should be greyed out
too, but that could make me think that I simply can't
change my password at all at this time, which is
confusing.

What about simply asking the user for their password
in a separate dialog, similar to the way sudo
preftools work?
That clearly separates the authentication and the
changing steps.
