GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 663332
orca reads my password in gnome-shell policykit dialogs

I don't think it is supposed to... Fwiw, similar GTK+ dialogs just read 'asterisk asterisk asterisk...'
Orca attends to the role of the accessible. If the object exposes ROLE_PASSWORD_TEXT, Orca tries very hard to not put user security at risk. :)
Probably this is a subset of bug 648598. Require further investigation.
Moving to the shell, for now
