steps to reproduce:
1) open system settings > network > network proxy
2) change mode to manual
3) enter socks host "localhost" and port 12345 as in screenshot
4) click on apply system wide 
5) the authenticate dialog appears, press cancel 4 times
6) open browser and go to any website, chrome and firefox complain about the proxy which means that the settings have been applied. the proxy localhost:12345 is not responding, because we didn't set it up.

This means either we can go around the security check by clicking cancel
4 times, or there shouldn't be a dialog box in the first place.

Title:
  bypassing password request by pressing 'cancel' 4 times

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have setup a 'maunal' proxy under network > network proxy. To set it
  up I have entered by password.

  After a while (also after restarting the control center) I change the
  form form 'manual' to 'none'. A window pops up which requests my
  password to perform the changes. When I press 'cancel' four times, the
  changes are applied, without the password!
