Thanks for filing this one. Had a conversation about this one on the DC
sprint and it was agreed to change the SIM PIN authentication.

"Just to sum up: If we reforge the authentication screen into a similar dialog as we currently have for WiFi password input, then it can sit basically anywhere in the UI.
This would allow to sit it even on top of the greeter because users will see what is in the background and it would be the first thing they are informed about. This way we would cover the issue that SIM PIN, Greeter and passcode/passphrase screens are visually too similar (by mistake putting in your passcode instead of SIM PIN and vice versa). Since the SIM PIN authentication can be triggered from System Settings, indicator menu and possibly later from apps which require SIM as dialer and messaging (on action), it would make sense to give it the same behaviour as other dialogs triggered from the system.

As mterry pointed out we might need to wait for the "dialog/notification
refactoring that Mirco is working on.""
