FWIW, when I plug in a USB encrypted backup drive, it has a popup passphrase window which also locks out all other windows.  I show my passphrase and use CTRL-SHIFT-C to copy it before plugging in the drive, then use CTRL-SHIFT-V to paste it into the popup window.  I suppose this is not as secure as it should be, but it's good enough for me.
