* This interface provides an abstract way to request that the user
* reauthenticate themselves to the operating system. It may be useful in
* conjunction with nsIOSKeyStore, whereby consumers of these APIs may
* consider some secrets too sensitive to access without first
* reauthenticating the user.
*
* Usage:
*
* // obtain the singleton nsIOSReauthenticator instance
* const reauthenticator = Cc["@mozilla.org/security/osreauthenticator;1"]
* .getService(Ci.nsIOSReauthenticator);
* if (await reauthenticator.asyncReauthenticate()) {
* // do something only authenticated users are allowed to do...
* } else {
* // show a "sorry, this isn't allowed" error
* }
*/
/**
* Asynchronously cause the operating system to request that the user
* reauthenticate. This is typically in the form of a dialog box asking the
* user for their login password. The actual behaviour of this depends on the
* OS.
*
* @param prompt A short string that may be incorporated in the dialog
* @param caption A short string that may be shown as the dialog caption (usually Product Name)
* @param parentWindow Used to associate the OS dialog with the calling window.
* @return Promise resolving to true if the user successfully authenticated
* and false otherwise.
