I have the same problem, but with non-password windows stealing focus from
password ones too (e.g. a text editor opening on startup as I'm entering the
kwallet password). I don't think "focus stealing prevention mode" does the
right thing — in my testing all it did was stop some windows taking keyboard
focus however they're used (on high mode it even stops the KDE menu taking
focus when launched with Alt+F1, which is almost certainly wrong since a user
action triggered the menu).

The fix *I'd* like to see is the following:
1) If keyboard input occurred in the last 500-1000ms and the window recieving
the input is still active, don't let another window steal focus. Alternately,
let the new window gain focus but block keyboard input for a few ms.
2) If keyboard input occurs in the first 100-200ms of a new window taking focus
for some reason other than the user clicking on it, block the input.
Alternately when a new window pops up, don't switch focus until a few ms later.
